There are two benefits I can see for removing an inactive maintainer. One, it gives people who need information or would like to suggest improvements a channel that is more likely to be responsive than an inactive maintainer. The other is that it will encourage someone who takes an interest in a port to step forward and volunteer to maintain it.
