Hi, please send this request to Special:Contact. If you haven't had one yet, make sure that you have a discussion (blog or forum -- not a poll or in Special:Chat) about demoting the inactive bureaucrats and allow enough time for other editors to reply. Make sure that you link to that discussion in your request, because Staff will need to verify that there is community consensus.

It is usually advised to not remove the user rights of inactive users, because they may return to edit from time to time. (For example, Sannse has been an inactive admin on Wikipedia for years.) But, if it really is the decision of the community to remove rights from inactive users, then it can be done. Just make sure the community agrees with this decision and send a message to Special:Contact.
