The potential member has to provide the reasoning. I don't see why openSUSE (unlike other developer communities) should hide contributor activities or achievements which can be also incitation to other developers/non-members.
Do other projects post a name + justification for why they accept certain people for membership? IIRC, Debian has a lengthy process, but they don't post a "this is why we've given so-and-so Debian Developer status."
Or do you fear that in the end it would be comprehensible who the board accepts as openSUSE member and who not? :-)
I fear nothing! :-) Seriously, I just don't think that it's necessary -- I'd just be happy to see a periodic (weekly, monthly, whatever) email that says "the openSUSE Board is happy to announce that the following openSUSE contributors have applied and been accepted for membership..."
