Also, I would require that anyone listed as a maintainer must have their contact form enabled, otherwise they get de-listed and their project gets put up for adoption on a special adoption page. OK, maybe that last bit is a little strong :-) but whether or not there is a way to contact the maintainer should be another factor in our 'gold star' system.
Not too strong at all. If a person wants to control a project but doesn't want to be contacted, he should maintain the project on his own computer, not on Drupal. Let people who disable their contact forms have CVS access, but find someone who will actually maintain a project to be the maintainer.
Um, and those that out of frustration with people using the contact forum to mail them directly for support instead of using the issue queue? Do we disable their contrib. modules? Site admins can use the contact form. We have the email information and can email directly. Not to put a fine point on it but I know several active module contributors who have disabled their contact modules because of this sort of abuse.
