+Inactive Coordinators
+---------------------

+If a coordinator is inactive for a year and does not respond within a week to a
+check-in issue on their translations issue tracker the coordinator will be marked
+as inactive.
+
+They will be moved to an "Inactive Coordinators" section on the devguide translations
+page and the translation will be free to claim by anyone willing to coordinate by
+opening a PR in the devguide repository adding themselves as coordinator.
+
+The translation may also be temporarily managed by a user willing to maintain it
+ideally with previous coordination experience.
+(propagating translations, managing CI workflows, accepting PRs, etc.)
