a tempest in a teapot

As a long-time Fedora contributor, I think we can never have a perfect policy that is totally fair, and I'd very much prefer to err on the side of allowing even infrequent contributors to vote. As stated in the article, the problem is that not enough people vote. In the particular case that started the discussion, I certainly don't mind when a person who has been active in discussions for two years gets the right to vote. I'd even make it permanent.
