I think that’s kind of insulting to those of us who don’t work at the WMF. Just because they hire the “best and the brightest” does not mean there are not people out there who are just as intelligent, if not more, but do not or cannot work for the WMF for whatever reason. Restricting Archcom to WMF employees is just about the stupidest thing you could do for an open source software project. It defeats the entire purpose of MediaWiki being open-source.

I dont know if this is practical. As Chad noted earlier, WMF hires the best and the brightest. Even if the entire arch comitte was hit by a bus, the people who i think would logically be next in line are still employed by wmf. Even if those people got hit by a bus, i still think their logical replacements would largely be wmf employees.
