Well if you recognise this as a problem you should also recognise that
debian developers can become inactive as well but still be considered a
debian developer.
This proposal to filter out new members only covers part of the problem,
it doesnt attempt to filter out existing developers who wouldnt get in
by todays standards.
For those reasons i see this proposal as a way to reduce the growth of
membership not as a means of controling quality of membership.
