Where is it defined what a "contribution level to warrant us to accept your application" is? It would be much better, if people would have a concrete idea of what they would have to actually do to become members. No, please do not start thinking about a definition now ;-)
Rather the other way around: Do we _really_ have a problem with too many (even inactive) members? I guess not.
All elections we held have a pretty weak voter turnout. Weak enough that it's debatable that the outcome represents the voters body opinion. Apart from that everything is fine ;-)
So why decline _at_all_? Is it that we need to protect our nice club here?
Yes we do need to protect our nice club to some degree. We need to make sure that the direction we're going and the decisions we're taking are made by people who will suffer the consequences of them.
Somebody who does not contribute today, can do tomorrow!
And can apply the day after tomorrow...
Rather discuss a letter such as "We have seen you being active so much in openSUSE recently, how about you become an openSUSE member to help us making the right decisions?". Or just do some work :o)
Would also be an option but how is that more welcoming and more practical?
