I have nothing significant to add that hasn't been already said, but I do disagree with the proposal.

We cannot assume that non-editors know a great deal, but it safe to say that anyone with >100 edits (including comments) has probably seen some discussions and has a fair idea of what is going on. You yourself currently have 244, a respectable number, indicating a moderate period of activity/contribution (whatever namespace it may be in) on the wiki. Conversely, I am inclined to disregard someone with <10 edits, because it indicates that they have never displayed an interest in the wiki, and as such have no justification for determining its course. Edit count isn't everything. What if the person with 244 made most of their edits as minor grammar and style fixes, while the person with under 10 is a new user who has already made significant, useful contributions? Just because someone hasn't had much of a chance to prove their worth doesn't mean they should be counted as worthless.
