If they don't respond then they don't get a swap item mailed to them. Not a perfect fix but at least you don't send a gift to someone who is no longer active.
This is a great idea ! A week or so before send out time make everyone report in if they are ready for send out day. If you get no response then you remove them. I am sure most people know when they join a swap if they have plans(vaca etc) they either don't join if thier are conflicting dates or send early or later with leaders acknowledgement.
