Why not? Are you marked as inactive?
I can declare myself to be so, if it helps.
Sounds like you're trying to shirk responsibility here. I have to agree with Callan here. If you're active, you should note ignore the voting threads - it's part of the responsibilities of the TUs. If a person doesn't want to do this, doesn't want to be part of the group and simply wants to pump out packages it's probably a better idea to run your own custom repo instead of being part of what should be a democratic group.
It depends on one's view of a TU's duties. Mine obviously differ considerably from yours. I cherish the friendship amoung TUs, but I currently confine myself to contributing the little bit here and there. One might call it following the “half a TU is better than none” philosophy. I don't see where this is a problem, but if it turns out to be one, I will yield and give up TU-ship. I'd like to encourage everyone here to share their opinion on this.
