There are lots of active people in Debian who do not have voting right, but
at least I for my part want to hear their opinion if they want to share it.
And it would be a shame if those opinions would not be heard.

Do you have any statistics on that?
Personally I don't mind to ignore some trolls, but if it bothers people too
much, I also wouldn't mind if somebody would implement a filter that only
accepts mails from active contributors. Although I guess that even discusing
what the requirements for such an active contributor are, will take more time
than ignoring some trolls once a year.
