That sounds reasonable on the one hand. On the other hand, I think Gunnar's
policy is better: you must be actively involved with Debian to be on Planet
Debian.

Actually, I don't read Planet Debian for the Debian posts. I find it
exceptionally difficult to try to follow a discussion there, and besides,
that's what we have debian-{devel,user,project,vote,devel-announce,*} for.
I read Planet Debian for the *non-Debian* posts. What somebody's apartment
in Japan looks like, what the trip to Berlin was like, etc. Maybe what
their Debian development area looks like...
It's good to get to know our fellow developers as whole people, where Debian
is part -- but not all -- of their lives.
