Or better yet, change "active contributor" to "active participant" and
include things like genuine mailing list posts or wiki edits or ...
rather than restricting "interested parties" to only those who can
edit...

After all, OSM is supposedly an independent community, who is supposed
to be supported by OSM-F, even if there may be a split in future, that
doesn't nessicarily mean that various groups won't interact, even for
simple things like coming up with common tag/values etc...
