I like the "member" terminology in part because it's common terminology for non-profits, meaning (roughly) what we mean by it: http://www.nonprofitlawblog.com/starting-nonprofit-voting-membership-structure/ That does mean it also runs the risk of some confusion since Debian itself is not a non-profit and does not have a legal existence, hence cannot have members in the legal sense. But still, the definition of "member" or "voting member" of a non-profit is spot-on for how we currently use DD. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
