100% yes.

E.G. - Someone who contributes to the api-sig repos is as deserving of a
vote for the TC as someone who commits to designate / glance / nova
neutron.

(I used api-sig as an example, as I think pretty much anyone who has
committed there already had a vote due to other openstack commits, but
if we are going to move into a situation where we would remove peoples
ability to vote we should adjust our processes to avoid it).
