The top 10 (counting Wikipedias only) account for ~90% of our edits. I
don't have solid editor numbers - Greg might have some for
eligible-by-project? - but that seems a reasonable indicator that they
have about 90% of our community.

Yes, the board represents us all. But putting mandatory background
restrictions on what communities people have to come from does not
seem the best solution.
