I proposed requring editors that aren't

the comment field, when editing the article namespace. This would be
done with the intention of extending it to all non-minor edits to the
article namespace if the experiment succeeded.
In fact, of the 3 non-implemented experiments above, I think this one
would be the least controversial.
I'd sign up to something that /made/ me leave an edit summary all the
time... perhaps a configurable option for logged-in users as a
corrollary?

Logged-in users can always set "mark edits minor by default".
It's more controversial for logged-in users though, even if minor
edits don't count, which is why my proposal is to test it out on those
without accounts first. Personally I think it's worth it. I agree
with the others who say that Wikipedia should focus on quality rather
than quantity (though I see this somewhat differently than some of
them).
