They can't. A person who contributes only one pack of code, no matter how large, is probably still considered as a contributor, but somebody who posts only once in the forums will never get the status of volunteer. A volunteer is a user of the forum who manages to get noticed for the quality and frequency of his/her posts, which are answers to questions. Volunteers have a voice in decisions concerning the forum, _because_ they are committed. The only people who can really be compared to Apache contributors are the people who submit macro and/or program code in the Customizing and extending forums (mainly Code snippets). And anyone can do that, not just volunteers or higher. Maybe you should do something with those sub forums. "Proposal #3: Forum staff who are elected as PMC must subscribe to the private@ mailinglist. They need to sign a ICLA (with real name)." Why sign a ICLA if what they do is rarely, if at all, copyright related, which is what the ICLA is all about?
