<h2>Rationale</h2>
<p>Over time, FreeBSD committers may find other demands on their time,
and decide that they wish to resign their commit bit. However, under
some circumstances, a committer may become inactive over a long period
of time without explicitly resigning their bit. Over the long term,
these accounts can represent a security risk, as well as posing
procedural questions regarding the degree to which contact information
and access methods for the account are maintainable. For these
reasons, the FreeBSD Core Team approved the following commit bit
expiration policy, which was posted to the Developers mailing list
on February 22, 2002.</p>
<h2>Policy</h2>
<p>Committers that haven't made a commit in 18 months will be removed
from the access file from time to time. Committers that wish to get
back their commit bits will have to reapply with the appropriate
authority. Future refinements to this policy may be forthcoming.</p>
