it is generally considerd best pratice to maintian the core team adding or removing
people based on there activity. if a core is removed due to in activity and they
come back they can always be restored but it give a bad perception if a project has
like 20 core but only 2 are active. as a  new contibutor you dont know which ones are
active and it can be frustrating to reach out to them and get no responce.
also just form a project healt point of view it make the project look like its more diverse
or more active then it actully is which is also not generally a good thing.

that said core can step down if they feel like they can contribute time anymore
when ever they like so and if a core is steping a way for a few months but intends to
come back they can also say that in advance and  there is no harm in leaving them
for a cycle or two but in general after a period of in activity (usally more then a full release/6months)
i think its good to reduce back down the core team.
