We could call them  "dormant".

And I obviously support culling our membership list for the exact reasons
Victor listed (especially since I was planning to do this at some point
anyway :) .

My only question is whether we care about leaving people on b.p.o who have
gone dormant with triage privileges as well? It's much less important, but
if they haven't contributed in a while they probably are not up to sped
with triage practices and thus might do something wrong by accident.
