A proposal was brought to FESCo to decide on whether there should be an inactive list policy for Fedora. FESCo collectively agreed that such a policy should rightfully be decided upon at the Council level.
With that in mind, I have the following specific proposal to offer for the purposes of starting the discussion:
Any list that hasn't seen a message for the last four Fedora release cycles will be archived.

Discussed during the 2026-01-14 Council meeting.
The Council revisited this proposal on January 14th with the goal of finalizing the administrative SOP for archiving inactive lists and handing it off to Infrastructure. While the discussion touched on the deeper philosophical question of when a working group itself should be considered "retired," we decided to separate that larger governance topic for the 2026 Strategy Summit. The immediate action is for Council members to review the current draft SOP so we can close this specific ticket.
