In order to regain commit status, that person must begin

This seems too much in the long run, but I do think that it is
necessary to
have a low barrier to entry now, and then trimming back the
committer list
to active people at either some milestone point or down the track if
applying for TLP is appropriate.
Many projects do this. HTTPD and Jakarta both have 6 month policies,
IIRC, with low barrier to re-entry. It just helps keep things neat
and clean.
If you intend to be adding a whole lot of new committers, there
needs to be
some way to continue to contribute via JIRA/ML while the account is
created
though, and this takes some time (unless Geir is intending to turn
them all
around himself immediately with his new found powers :)
My powers are now mighty and vast! :)
