[gdal-dev] Refreshing commiter list

[Even Rouault]

Hi all and PSC especially,

Our COMMITERS file currently list 57 people with SVN commit rights. The truth 
is that only a portion of them make use of them (one of them has apparently 
never used them according to svn log!, a bunch not in the last 10 years...). 
So I was wondering if we shouldn't check with them to make sure they are still 
interested in the project, and in keeping their commit rights so we can 
maintain a more up-to-date list of committers/maintainers and have 3 
categories :
- Active : use their commit rights regularly
- Occasionally active: might only use them unfrequently, but could still be 
interested in committing changes from time to time
- Past : no longer interested in committing code.

We could give figures to what active or occasionally active means, but the 
intent is not "punishing" anyone, just making sure people haven't shifted 
completly to other interests. This could be give a better picture to casual 
contributors of who is responsible/interested in what.

Opionions ?
