As any new module/activity will add some overhead to the release team,
perhaps we should ask that any module included in the release process
has to provide functionality that the community believes is important
to the project goals?

So maybe we should ask such a new point:

 * Provide functionality that the community judges as important for
reaching the goals of the project.
