Checklist for Committers Who Pass Away

Here's a list of things to do when a committer passes away. This likely mirrors when a committer leaves the project, except in a few cases.

• Notify core@ of the committer's passing away. If possible, provide a pointer to his or her obituary.
• the core@ secretary should notify devlopers@ and accounts@ of the passing. Should ports-mgr and doc-mgr be notified separately?
• someone on core@ should clean up the PR database so no more mail is generated to this person
• Update the calendar file to include the date and location of his or her death. Remove the birth entry as well.
• If this creates a vacancy in one of the project's many “hats,” discuss how to move forward
• core@ should discuss if future releases should be dedicated to his or her memory, etc
• Add an 'in memoriam' section to the contributors guide.
