So expressing
"Anyone who never, ever edited OSM is not my preferred candidate to OSMF board."
would be also bannable offense?"

or 

"I prefer OSMF board candidates who are active mappers with at least several
edits in last year"?

What about
"Anyone with fewer than 15 mapping days in their life should not be allowed to
join OSMF?"

What about people expressing deep confidence what is annoying or problematic
for mappers and who never ever edited?

Is it also bannable to express it somewhere else?

Hypothetical examples of "edit shaming"      might be posts to the talk lists including such verbiage as:

Shaming such people      because their mapping activity doesn't meet some other community      member's view of what it should be to have credibility is      unacceptable, intolerable, and will not be countenanced. In short,      efforts to humiliate other community members on these grounds will      rapidly draw the attention of the moderators.
