+The Infrastructure Team is cleaning up GitHub organizations managed by the Rust Project
+([rust-lang](https://github.com/rust-lang), [rust-dev-tools](https://github.com/rust-dev-tools), [rust-lang-deprecated](https://github.com/rust-lang-deprecated), [rust-lang-nursery](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery) and [rust-analyzer](https://github.com/rust-analyzer))
+by removing members who are not part of any team within those organizations.
+
+If you are an active Rust team member, you might receive removal emails about our legacy organizations (`rust-lang-nursery`, `rust-lang-deprecated`, `rust-dev-tools`).
+Don't worry though, your access to the `rust-lang` organization won't be affected by this!
+
+If you contributed to Rust in the past, you will receive emails mentioning you have been removed from our organizations.
+We understand that some people publicly displayed their membership in the `rust-lang` organization as a recognition of past contributions:
+the [teams page](https://www.rust-lang.org/governance#teams) on the website includes an alumni section when clicking on each team.
+Please reach out if your past team memberships are not reflected. Also, we want to take this occasion to thank you for the time you spent in the past making Rust what it is today!
+
+If you have been removed by an organization you think you should be part of, or you have any other questions, please reach out on our chat platform, [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/242791-t-infra/topic/removing.20inactive.20members.20from.20the.20org).
