The bar need not be set exactly where it is today, but there should be some kind of minimum activity level if somebody wants to be a member. It shouldn't just be people who "like Gentoo." Gentoo has to work first and foremost for those who are active contributors, since those are the people we most need to keep happy. If people want to have more of a say and become active contributors to have that say, then so much the better.
