'Something' is not enough IMO, it sould be 'significant' contribution.
We can try to define some limits (difficult) or new voters can be accepted
by current voters (better i think) -  initialy all contributors
with CVS write access would vote about candidates for voter.

I think that 'voter' should be for life. I dont think that it would be abused.
People who realy leave the project will not continue to vote most probably.
They should have a chance however to defend their previous work.
