Sounds like a reasonable idea. We can't automatically make the key invalid.
But we can have a central Debian key that's used to sign the keys of all
developers. If such a signature was revoked then it would show the change in
status of the developer.
Removing developers who don't meet certain criteria (EG no package uploads for
6 months) from active status makes a lot of sense. Anyone care to propose a
GR?
