This was raised in the thread Member for life, the wrong policy back in 2018. The thread didn’t go anywhere. I’m not sure there’s any real need for a change some six years later.
When I obtained my Ubuntu membership I spent many hours each day working on Ubuntu by participating in the Forums, working on bug reports and helping with the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter. Today I spend very much less time working on Ubuntu out of choice.
However, I’ve just spent an hour or so looking at various newly created bug reports. I didn’t achieve much although I did make several changes that hopefully will help both the reporter and the Ubuntu project.
How would you now measure my contribution towards an Ubuntu Membership? Time spent on such an activity or the results from that activity if my past contributions are no longer valid?
