It actually seems the reverse to me - 20 commits in 3 years is a VERY
low bar, it's not all that hard to write that many patches in a single
weekend. And once you cross the threshold everyone is equal, whether
they have 20 or 2000 commits.

There is a mechanism for giving such people voting power, but it's not
obvious how to make it automatic. Practical suggestions are welcome, I
guess.
