I agree with the "big tent" premise. We have a diverse project with many
parts. Contributions of all types are welcome and qualifying IMHO. Since we
also try to blur the line between users and contributors, I am also of the
opinion that a user who would like to be a member should be welcome.

Of course, other SLOB members may feel otherwise. They are welcome to chime
