How does it sound like a threat? They don't even need to re-earn their rights. When they begin editing and confirm that they plan on editing long-term, they will be re-granted their rights. Marking them inactive does not suffice because userpages are separate from the Listusers page. We give the users in question two weeks to respond, we promise them that if they return they will be re-granted their rights, and we thank them for their service.

Wait... so if someone is demoted for their inactivity, all they have to do is ask for their Rights back with the promise of improved activity, and the Rights are returned with no problems whatsoever?

Precisely.
