I will be very open here: To me it feels very creepy to scan all members. I 
think this has more potential to destroy community than to build community.

One of the nice parts of a volunteer community is that there is no clear line 
between being in and being out, that you can be inactive and still be attached 
to the community, and come back when you decide. We need to maintain this and 
keep being open.

It would be great, if we could focus on the activities of the active people, 
on what is needed and what is happening to build Leap and Tumbleweed, on 
getting more users and more contributors. Let inactive people be inactive, and 
work with the active ones on what makes openSUSE great and greater.
