I don't consider user rights as "rights" but as "privileges." You have those privileges (plus the title) to help the community. If you become inactive for an extended period (6+ months is what we use), you have no right to expect to still have them no matter what you did for the wiki. I'd expect the same if I every became inactive for more than that time (if I didn't demote myself before then).
