there is a non-negligible amount of people who request membership based on contributions that simply do not exist (= they're lying, plain and simple).
Which makes it quite difficult to weed out the real apps from the fake.
these people a pool of potential members who could be reminded in some way (the openSUSE Weekly for example) that they could reapply?
Not a bad idea.
I'm thinking of this from my POV, and since that initial application, I haven't really considered reapplying... it's just not in front of me (eg reminders that there is an open membership), so I just carry on in the same way as always... answering questions when I can, posing questions, and annoying people of Factory when I don't agree with some change :-) A reminder of sorts in the weekly for example (is not targeted at a single individual that way) would prob nudge a few of us enough to reapply.
Note that we never "bash" people when we "reject" their application. The typical reply is that, unfortunately, we didn't consider the current contributions to be sufficient yet, but that doesn't prevent from taking part in the project, and please keep on contributing, and ask again later. (along those lines)
I hope I managed to indicate that when I mentioned the reply I got. It was definitely not a bashing rejection. It was exactly what you've outlined here... was reasonably clear and well worded.
