There are a lot of communities that were created in the last week but never had any kind of interaction or their mods never started to post to attract people (they don't even have rules or a description).
Will there be some kind of cleanup or will it stay there until someone asks to take over it?

Ummm, what about my artwork sublemmies? I created lots of them and I'm gradually populating them over the time. Because of my current workflow I can't prepare content for them in parallel so I'm kinda forced to leave them temporarily empty before I can move onto working on content for them. :x

Like I said we'll give a long enough time period that someone passionate about their community would have populated it by then (with some posts atleast). this is mainly to prevent people to squat on multiple popular community names with no intention to curate a community around it.

Alright. And I support the idea too btw. Just wasn't sure about safety of my communities haha.

Maybe you could post a little introduction/welcome text post on the communities you want spared.

As long as there was warning, that seems like a good way to spare small communities that haven't gotten off the ground while getting rid of squatters who aren't interacting at all.

Good idea, hopefully I will remember it when the time comes.
