agreed - I actually don't see a reason why the elections should not be limited to Wikimedia editors with some edit count. I would assume that if there are people in other categories currently eligible to vote, who would lose this privilege if they were required to do some minimal amount of editing, it is not too much of a burden to ask them to start editing, if they indeed want to participate in the community also through elections.
