As a non-voting member of the list how about this idea, you cannot
be a voting member of the list until you have submitted a patch
that was accepted or written a module or been a contributor to the
mailing list (for X amount of time?).  Or some variation on that
theme.  That is, someone who had actually ``help[ed] do the work
of the Apache Project'' in some form.
