I'd welcome better suggestions if anybody has any. I think the complete lack of metrics and exceptionally low barrier to voting is a much bigger problem. Perhaps LoC? That said, 20 commits is an exceptionally low bar IMHO to get a say for a project with a *HUGE* impact such as PHP. I think it might look high since people got used to the idea that they can vote even if they've never contributed anything to PHP at all. I suspect that if I asked people from the Linux Kernel community what they think about the idea that someone who contributed 20 commits to the kernel would have the same say as Linus Torvalds, they'd think I had a bit too much to drink.
