Maintainers who have become inactive on a given package can be removed.

This helps us keep an accurate view of the state of maintenance in Nixpkgs.

42
The inactivity measure is currently not strictly enforced.
43
We would typically look at it if we notice that the author hasn't reacted to package-related notifications for more than 3 months.

The maintainer is welcome to come back at any time.
