#3298: Clean up list of OSGeo GitHub repo members with "owner" role

We have a surprisingly long list of OSGeo Github repo members with "owner"
role. Some of them (seem to) have left OSGeo many years ago, hence it
becomes a security issue.
Members · People · OSGeo · GitHub
Suggestion: cleanup up this list and selectively downgrade their rolw
since "owners" could even delete the entire organization.
Some observations:
- one member does not even have 2FA activated.
- some members are out of OSGeo for even a decade?
**Question**: who decides about who is "owner", the board?

Comment (by robe):
I'm unclear who decides on this. I would assume the board is as good as
any or the owners of OSGeo github org.
At anyrate I can't see anyone arguing that people who haven't been
involved in OSGeo for many years should be owners. I would go ahead and
remove them, perhaps note on this ticket who is being removed so people if
they are paying attention can ask to be put back.

Comment (by kalxas):
I agree we need to review this list.
Let's bring it up in the next board meeting, perhaps we need a policy.
