that group, and I'm sure there are more. I've been active with openSUSE in it's various incantations since 1998 (almost all of that activity on the mailing lists)... but don't do a lot of Wiki editing, and don't do package maintenance etc.. so don't really fit well into the membership criteria... are there those in this group who might now fit better with the criteria and could be encouraged to reapply?
If you are active on the mailinglists (now, not in 90s) you are perfectly valid applicant for membership.
Me personally? I've been active continuously on the various mailing lists since 1998, and have sent many thousands of emails asking questions, and helping people... and even annoying people from time to time as happens on mailing lists. Why am I not a member? I was told when I applied (back when Membership was first set up) that my contributions on the mailing lists were not considered sufficient for membership, that I should step up my contributions in other places such as the Wiki, and then reapply at a later date. If that criteria has changed, it's not been well communicated... which leads me back to my original point... how many people (who almost fit the criteria for membership) applied, were rejected for whatever reason, and haven't bothered to re-apply? Are these people a pool of potential members who could be reminded in some way (the openSUSE Weekly for example) that they could reapply?
