The current policy on this is that developers can give themselves
whatever title they want, and it's up to them to decide if they
should be listed as "current" or "previous".  The vague hope is
that we'll keep a number of "developer emeritus" around who are
still willing to review the occasional patch or discuss important
issues.  I'd expect that if somebody lists themselves under
"previous developer", then they'd be gone for good.  (that's why I
haven't moved myself over)
