The standard charter (part of the DSDP charter) covers this:
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/Eclipse_Standard_TopLevel_Charter_v1.0.php
“At times, Committers may become inactive for a variety
of reasons. The decision making process of the Project relies on active
committers who respond to discussions and vote in a constructive and timely
manner. The PMC is responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of the
Project. A Committer who is disruptive, does not participate actively, or has
been inactive for an extended period may have his or her commit status revoked
by the PMC.”
Basically, we need to vote. Then you need to file a bug to have
his commit rights removed.

Subject: [dsdp-pmc] About removing committers
I lost one guy from my Nokia team and at the same time he stop
being in practise Eclipse committer.
Should we just remove his committer rights or should that be voted
also?
I am basically just checking if there is some process to follow...
