[technology-pmc] Re: Cleaning out inactive committers

[Grahame Grieve <grahame@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Bjorn

I do not think it would be appropriate to
to remove the committer status of any of these

darmbrust is waiting for a contribution to be approved
djorgenson is waiting for a cvs access issue to be resolved
dford is about to make a contribution
bbanfai is about to make a contribution
