As an "outsider" and newcomer to the project, the proposal sounds very
reasonable to me...
The "consistent" part and the "1 to 2 months" both seem reasonable to
me too. I'd like to suggest that there are other ways than
development to make quality contributions to the project worthy of
committership, such as documentation and release management.
Unless you meant...
"consistently provides (quality development through patches) and
(interactions with the project)"
with "interactions with the project" covering the non-dev stuff.
