Why four commits a month? Currently we are at one commit a month, any reason to quadruple it instead of requesting a slight raise, such as two commits a month? 

My concern is that not all developers who do contribute something each month can give Gentoo the commitment you request for every month. Should we lose their contributions as they are a smaller quantity because some people think that if you cant do more all the time then it's just not good enough? 

It seems that the goal should be to find positive ways to encourage more developers to become active, not start retiring those that cant give Gentoo as much time that others can.
