My view is that we should restrict privileges for them.
(I don't think restriction is necessary for the editusers users who were
already active in GCC development or sourceware administration. For users
with privileged access who used to be active but haven't been active for a
long time, it may make sense to remove that access, whether it's
privileged Bugzilla access or shell access to sourceware, but that's just
on general security principles, and who should have privileged access is
ultimately a matter for the sourceware and project leaders.)
