If people wanted to, we could purge non-active developers from the  
list, especially since it's quite easy to get added again.  That  
would probably bring us below 40 (I must say it would feel sad and  
strange to remove Jamie and Gerard...).

I agree that we should expect a fair amount of activity before being  
added, whether in terms of code output, list posts, etc.
