There's no reason to. If these people don't contribute and don't vote -
so what? There's no limited pool of votes that needs to be distributed,
and as I said before, the reason for getting a vote is not passing
some kind of representation quota. If the person contributes
substantially, they should have a vote, regardless of how many or few
inactive voters are there. If they are not the part of the contributing
team, they are free to voice their opinion, which will be listened to,
but they won't be a part of the binding vote process.
