Yes, I think changing the phrase "25-30 editors approval" to "the
approval of 10 active editors" would be a reasonable change that can
be made without too much bureaucracy. While it's good to be cautious
about these things, specific parameters like this are *meant* to be
tuned. Be bold :-)

I would be comfortable with a policy that requires XX% of very active
users (defined as 100 edits/month) as an alternative minimum, with a
hard minimum of somewhere between 5-10 users. Even very small projects
can usually come up with at least five people, or they really are
"one-man band" type projects dominated by a single editor. For larger
projects like en.wikipedia, the 30 editor minimum approval seems very
reasonable or perhaps even a little bit low.
