That doesn't work for contributions other than code, e.g.:
- artists
- Usability testers
- Template creators
- Wiki janitors and maintainers
- Server admins for LO
- translator
- bug wrangler
- people manning LO conference booths

There are just too many ways to contribute besides "lines of
code". E.g. OpenEmbedded requires three existing members to "+1" a
membership request in order to accept it, which is a much softer and
subjective criteria. To prevent hijacking one could combine this with a
veto possibility by the majority of the SC or something if one would
like that.
