Oh, I'm sure I could; I don't think that was really my point. In the
end, what irritates me is not in the end an activity requirement in
itself, but the way it was decided, the way it was notified, and the
fact that increasingly I get the feeling that Commons wants only users
and admins who are committed Commons community members, despite the
fact that Commons is a service project primarily intended for the use
and convenience of other Wikimedia projects.

All users (constructive ones) are welcome on Commons. Personally I
would not vote for someone who did not appear to be relatively active on
Commons to become an admin there (that applies to all the projects that
I hold rights on). You may see Commons as essentially a "service"
project for other Wikis although I have a feeling that others may not
see it the same.
I'm intrigued to know how you think individual Wikimedia projects should
decide on issues, arrange policies and control aspects? Surely the only
real option is within that project among active users of the project?
