The main problem with some of the local forums is that not everyone
there speaks English (well). That being a requirement would mean we'd
have to kick off people doing a good job just because they don't
fulfill a requirement for official Gentoo staff. That's why they were
excluded and becoming an official member is optional.

I do so as well, but we cannot force it on them. If i have to choose
if someone who has done great work has to become offical and decides
to leave because of that or just stays non-offical, i'll choose the
second option.

In any case all members of the moderation staff, official or not, are
bound to our moderation guidelines anyway.
