Sorry, I probably wasn't clear then in what I was after.  It's great
to have anybody on the mailing list!  Particularly you James:  You
ask good questions.  ;-)

I'm proposing that we remove developer status from inactive
developers on SourceForge, just to keep us down to the working set.
Quite a few of the thirteen developers are not actively writing code
for the project anymore.

If in general people don't think it gains us anything by pruning the
developer list periodically, then perhaps we should just leave them
there.  So far there's a great deal of apathy to my suggestion.
