[a user made this suggestion to me.]

looking at the developer jobs list (https://savannah.gnu.org/people/?category_id=1), there are jobs going back to 2001.

perhaps it would be useful to send a reminder to people whose jobs have gone N years without change, and ask them to update it -- a posting would seem more likely to actually find people if it is periodically updated. (Even if there are no actual changes to the job description, trivial changes could be made to bump the date.)

perhaps we should even go so far as to delete jobs that have gone, say, 2*N years without change. i'm even less sure about this, though.

maybe N = 2.

just an idea.
