Indeed....
Additionally, it is *very* complicated to define who is a community member.

Two options yet to consider:

- the ChangeLog contains some references to code contributors without
SVN core access, e.g.

# incomplete "grep":
zgrep -i contributed ChangeLog.gz
      manual: example update (contributed by Vero Andreo)
      (contributed by Paul Kelly, trunk r68308)
      example added (contributed by Vero Andreo) (trunk, r68187)
      (trunk, r67581; contributed by Vero Andreo)
      r67571, r67572 (contributed by Vero Andreo)

      manual: more examples (contributed by Veronica Andreo)

    * help page contributed by Trevor Wiens <twiens interbaun com>
    * help page contributed by Trevor Wiens <twiens interbaun com>
    * EPS output added (contributed by Bruno Caprile, ITC-irst)

In fact, all should have been added here:
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/contributors.csv
but that file didn't get updated lately.

Suggestion: updated this file from the ChangeLog and add to the list
of eligible voters. The next PSC may improve the process then.

my 0.02 cents,
