Implement an Activity Policy

Comece revisando os sinais de atividade propostos do GitHub e os limites da GitHub API e, em seguida, examine como a associação à organização é mantida atualmente no repositório nodejs/admin. A issue precisa de uma política decidida e de um escopo de implementação definido antes que o trabalho possa começar; ela será considerada concluída quando incluir um registro auditável das decisões de associação e um processo definido para readicionar membros.

I'd like to recommend that we introduce an Activity Policy for organization membership to reduce the manual workload of maintaining organization membership and attempt to reduce the surface area for potential issues caused by escalated privileges.

I think we can probably be incredibly lenient in what we consider "activity". I'd consider the following "activity", in the nodejs, pkgjs, and nodejs-private orgs:

• Creating an Issue, PR, or Discussion (ex. org:nodejs author:bnb created:>2021-01-01)
• Commenting on an Issue, PR, or Discussion (ex. org:nodejs commenter:bnb created:>2021-01-01)
• Reviewing a PR (ex org:nodejs reviewed-by:bnb created:>2021-01-01)

I would also include "reacting to an Issue, PR, or Discussion" but it doesn't seem like GitHub has an API that would surface that information. If people think of more things to check programmatically that could be added, I'm wholly onboard with that. I believe our goal should be to consume as many signals as possible, and given that we've consistently decided to centralize on GitHub I think using every available signal is a reasonable way to parse "has this person engaged with the project".

In terms of "what is the scope and approach":

• I'd recommend checking for checking the past year. I don't know of a point in history where an "active" member of the project didn't engage in some way in GitHub at one point or another within the previous 365 days.
  • I'd recommend this be instant rather than moving to a temporary hold group before being released. In CommComm I pretty consistently noticed a pattern where when asked people would say yes but not return, creating an artificial inflation of the number of members despite a majority being in this limbo state.
• I'd recommend committing "decisions" in a repo, so we have an easy log that we can audit.
  • This could include a snapshot of their membership, allowing us to easily reinstate that.
• I'd recommend that we take a similar approach to how some groups have implemented Emeritus, where a simple request to be re-added (perhaps after some period of renewed activity, like a week or a month?) is all that's required. Perhaps this could also be automatic.

Would love to hear thoughts on this.
