I generally like the idea. Two things I think could improve the process:

 - send a monthly note on opensuse-project about members who are going
   to have their membership expire in the next month.
   We do that for GNOME, since we noticed mail notices get often
   lost/ignored/etc. and this helps the social network ping the members.

 - use a web page with a simple "I confirm my membership" button.
   Whether people should list their recent contributions or not is
   debatable: I think if a past member is not active but still
   interested in the project (and still votes), then that shows this
   member still cares about the project. To me, that's enough to keep
   membership.

Cheers,

Vincent
