I'm also going to go to the talk page, but...

I object to the GA/FA/etc requirement.  There are a lot of content
editors out there who won't go near the FA mafia.

I use that term carefully, and hopefully without inciting a great
backlash.  The people involved in the GA/FA etc process are welcome as
far as I am concerned to keep doing what they're doing, but I don't
want membership in that community to be a gatekeeper requirement for
other participation.
