Not all people are aware of the membership program.  Not all people who
contribute also follow our -project mailing list.  Not all people who
contribute get involved with community discussions or even put it on
their radar.  

There's nothing elite about going to people and actively inviting them
to join our membership.  People are still free to apply on their own
without an invitation.
