I suggested something similar in passing a few months ago, when I talked about "sleeping RFCs" being revived at the last minute before a release deadline: https://externals.io/message/102708#102729 I'll leave to other threads whether we should have a formal process for when to transition RFCs into and out of "Dormant" status, but I see no reason we can't, right now, move anything with no mailing list hits for 3 months, or even 2 months.
