I have had at least one response from someone who was no longer actively 
using Arch Linux and had been inactive for some time, and then went and 
disowned their package. Whether they'd been gone for more than a year by 
the time they were contacted, I cannot remember, and I doubt I'd be able 
to check that now if I went and looked up who it was.
