Perhaps it's time to address the issue of whether we'll have the
(hu)manpower needed to manually reinstate a member every year. I know that
some of this could be automated, but the automation will inevitably
require a responsible, quick-to-reply set of maintainers, in much the same
way as the debian new-maintainer list does.
