As KiBi pointed out, we have MIA. And we also have WAT runs (the idea
was to do regular pings of otherwise inactive DDs -- no vote, no upload
during the last n months), though I'm not sure that WAT runs were done
recently. (WAT runs:

Inactive members are quite harmless, I'm not sure if we need to spend
more work detecting them. Detecting inactive package maintainers is more
much useful.
