Name Recycling

Does anyone know when/how Riot decides to recycle summoner names on inactive accounts that haven't been played on in a long time so they're available to other players? This question is directed towards Riot but I doubt I would get enough of the community to give feed back in order for them to reply, but maybe one of you guys knows something about it that I don't?

Thank you for the future help.

For every level that a person has, they are granted one month of being immune to having their name be taken from the date of their last-played game (minimum 6 months). Here's some examples:

Level 1: 6 months Level 6: 6 months Level 7: 7 months Level 12: 1 year Level 30: 2 years & 6 months
