But can we assume that as a minimum you'd have to achieved contributor status? >>> 4.

We'd also have to notify the leaders they needed to vouch for people - perhaps via email, with a 'click here to vouch' token in the body of the mail? Just so nobody gets too excited - I'm not making any sort of firm commitment to do this, although I think it's a reasonable idea - there are more pressing things we need to address first. It does seem however that the natural place for it would be the membership system, as a 'phase two' extension. -- Alan Burlison --
