Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Who are the current eligible voters?
From: internals@lists.php.net ("Levi Morrison via internals")

We are predominantly volunteers, and should keep that in mind for
these kinds of things. In my opinion, a timeline of 6 months is
definitely too short. Maybe something like 3 years would be more
appropriate.

And if we do remove stale voting privileges it should be easy to get
them back again, and should not generally be met with resistance. If
someone has contributed before, we should be happy to have them back.

And all of this doesn't really matter that much; as Nikita pointed out
it is pretty easy to get an account, and most people simply don't care
to vote.
