I agree with this. Over the past year or so I have been hesitant to
nominate anyone because I prefer not to push anyone I like into the
process unless they ask for it. Particularly anyone who does not have
a stratospheric edit count or extreme activity in policy formation;
it's very insulting for a reasonable, productive user to be opposed
for "lack of experience" for not having a 3000+ edit count and I've
seen it happen far too often.
