This is the same requirement written into the SCA charters.
To start with, i'd say that a year with no "maintenance" (even fixing  
a typo) on a spec either means the authors were total geniuses or no  
one is using it. :-)

Seriously, i guess the TC would just observe that no maintenance  
issues that required spec changes were submitted in the past year,  
and hence there is no need to issue a new minor release. Or if TC  
Admin insisted, the TC could publish a minor revision that was the  
same as the previous version, (except for the revision number and date).
