Get Involved (make.wordpress.org) sites user audit

Description

We have quite a few users on the "Get Involved" sites, and lately been getting more and more. That's great! :)

To make user management a bit easier, clearer, and to enhance security a bit, thinking we would need to do an user audit, and implement some basic rules.

IMHO the following would be a good start:

  • If somebody doesn't log in for a year we automatically set them to "contributor".
  • All users should be "authors" by default. Users that need to edit_others_posts or moderate others posts' comments can be made "editors" on as-needed basis (and then set back to "authors" when editing of others posts is not needed any more).

In addition I don't think we would need any admins there, except the network SA of course.

All of this is a good security procedure that should probably be implemented for all blogs/P2s/sites on wordpress.org.
