Adding a restriction like this would be really bad, since a lot of users
are "worthy" of devel-status and can produce occasional patches or
propose/discuss stuff relevant for development, even though the don't
own a FOSS project?!?
This would effectively narrow the number of people who can (try to)
influence the project.
