It's not meant that hard like it sounds. It's not all black and white. :)

Such a person should not lose their status. We just want to make clear, that
someone who is not active, does lose his status. Active need's to be
individually defined. It just depends on your role in the project. If you 
just update docs or fix bugs it is totally ok, to make your self a easy day.
Just write a email to the list, say how would like to work and every knows
about it. But if you contribute code to the api and are not available to fix
you own stuff, it should be clear that someone will take over. Also if you
are longer not available, it is not nice to jump in, commit something to cvs
and go away again.
That's the story about this topic. Ok?

This document should not be a bible. It just documents the way we like to
work. This document should be a guide, so anyone knows what he can expect
from the project. 

I wish i could speak english better.... :)
