I understand that J.Sayol has done a great job in the past, but except this work for the installer...I don't get why do you keep such people in your organisation.
I mean that it appened to me to make some small things for "Him" or "Her"...but i'm not member of their companies...

If members wish to leave, they may request to do so.  Ousting people is not an acceptable attitude towards any member in our community, long standing or not.

I am aware of some of whom you've chosen to be vocal about have been around or contributing for 10 years, whilst others are active but do so under a work-related github account.

All attended Dconf, most on a yearly basis, where were you?

If we want anything, we want these folks to be contributing again, not to be ostracized. Being rude to them gains us nothing and potentially loses us a very valuable contributor permanently. They are _very_ welcome to actively contribute again whenever they are ready and willing to do so. We'd love for it to be contributing more often, but life often gets in the way, and even if any of them have decided to move on and never return, it's not like it hurts us to let them still have commit access.

We want to encourage contributions, not ostracize people for not contributing on a regular basis.
