1. Should we include all developers or only developers with gentoo.git
commit access?

2. Shouldn't we set some minimal time-as-a-dev for this?

What I'm concerned about are people joining Gentoo only to get the free
token and then stopping to contribute.  We historically had both cases
of people joining and then disappearing shortly afterwards, and people
trying to join just to gain the developer status and not to contribute.

Alternatively, require developers to return the token upon termination
of developer status, with allowance that after X years as a dev
the token is considered scrapped and does not need to be returned.
