What people say they are up to isn't really relevant to what's defined as
policy.  What is relevant is if they have done work or not.  The removal
votes are automatic as far as when they should happen; less automatic as
far as when they do happen.

What people say they are up to is relevant in how people choose to vote
when those removals are called, but the PL has no more vote than anyone
else in that regard.  The PL isn't even the one that has to raise the issue
of the vote, anyone that notices the time can, though by the same token
anyone who is aware of activity that occured inside the window can
challenge that.
