I think the calendar year requirement is very important. Partly just
for the look of things: if we have people less then a year become
members based on their great involvement, then it does start to be
more of a thing for cool kids. It implicitily implies that if you're
not member you don't have great involvement.

So before anyone applies and it becomes awkward, I'll just declare
that I likely won't be voting for any new voting members (unless
someone slipped through the cracks in the initial member list).
