BZes already don't get responses for weeks or months in some cases. Even as an active participant (if you'd like to count me as one), most of *my* BZes get nothing for months. I have no reason to regularly check Jira for my issues because there's nothing going on anyway. It's not "somewhat annoying", it's actually really bad. If you really need to worry about seat counts, then adjust the inactivity period to align with how long it takes for someone to respond to a ticket. Probably one to two years is more appropriate. I do not think it is reasonable to disable volunteer user/contributor accounts like this, especially since it disables your watch lists in Jira. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
