I disagree.

It's very different to set such kind of requirement (or others much higher) for
things like votations, and for core features like creating a page.

If person A wants to create an article about Foomatics, *on his own time*, *for
free*, requiring him to eg. "patrol 10 pages before doing that" will not
encourage new editors to stay.
