Six months isn't that much, and accounts that are barely used don't hurt
anyone, do they? People shouldn't have to login every 6 months just to keep
their accounts.

Confirming.
Not sure what advantage deleting inactive accounts has, but logging in once
every six months is hardly time consuming.

I guess it could be useful for keeping the votes current, but we could simply
flag the accounts as inactive so that they can be resumed at any time.

This is still a problem. If I'm not mistaken, I've gotten 9 e-mails like this
now and every time I need to take action if I don't want my account to be
automatically deleted.

I don't think it's worth the trouble of creating active/inactive states to keep
around accounts that have absolutely no data associated with them on the off
chance the user might wander back, but 6 months does seem rather short.

I was going to simply change the time frame to 18 months. but then I took a
closer look at the function that checks for data. AFAICT, it only checks for
votes, comments, and maintainership status. Test reports apparently have never
been counted as data, which IMO is the real problem.
