Francis, please read my response to Pascal's email. I think I disagree with you when it comes to the criteria of membership. Francis Giannaros wrote:

Exactly, they are common sense, so why do I have to sign them? As mentioned in an earlier email thread about code of conduct, I can't see that signing documents etc. changes anything. I've been part of the (at that time) SuSE community since 1996, I don't think I have to sign any document to stay a member of this community. The reason why I am not in favour of your current membership approach is summarized in my reply to Pascal's email.
[...] Seems like an emotive piece of text with no real substantiation. Giving upload rights to only a specific set of people is alienating too, but it's pretty practical. So is membership.
You can't mix technical considerations with more abstract community considerations. That doesn't make sense. Of course a subscription to mailing lists is necessary, or an account with proper permissions to upload files - that's a technical necessity. A community membership isn't, so please don't try to mix those two things.
