Since I'm just a regular contributer but have wiki access (Documentation) mainly for creating my own articles and auditing others, I'm not as intimately dependent on making consistent contributions as someone at Sun or within the regional vicinity using Sun products would. Not to say I won't make many commits, but I aim for quality over quantity myself, and do most of the actual articles offline, which from an external view may look as if I'm not frequenting but this is not the case, nor is it with most contributers. Core should be expected to contribute, but restricting to bare minimum voting rights cannot fit every individual or every project.
