Number of commits is bad measure for work and time spent on gentoo: some
work require long investigation and exactly one commit, while another
work require lots of commits and small amount of time spent on that. So,
please, stop this formalism!

Also this change does not magically fix bugs so bugs are different
issue. If you know how/want to fix the bug just mail maintainer, wait
some time (one day normally is enough if bug was opened for a long
time...) and fix bug. That's it! No need to retire maintainer to fix
bugs in his packages.

Security is also unrelated as this change does not improve security.

The only reason we have that script is to check that developer really
left gentoo, but forgot to notify infra...
