My view is that there should be a minimum posting activity and/or account age cut-off so people cannot abuse the fund, especially with all the newcomers showing up after Jeffrey placed some ads. I trust the committee to pick something reasonable in that regard. It should probably be a consistent, set policy so no one is unfairly excluded because of when or how they made their request.

My personal opinion is that a lurker who has been around for a couple years is more credible than someone who registered recently with just a handful of posts.

I think you're mixing two different things - disqualified persons are just people you can't give money (or business) to, to avoid self-dealing. That doesn't affect status as a public charity - to maintain that there is just some math you have to do to see how much of the money is coming from a few people versus a bunch, and depending on the ratios you're either satisfied (over 1/3 from randos IIRC) or need to also justify it as charity subjectively (if you're at 1/10 from randos).

It's this. You should still keep track of disqualified persons in the (probably unlikely) case that they were to solicit the Goon Fund for funds down the road or that they start to constitute too high a fraction of the charity's contributions, but they aren't prohibited from giving more money. The charity is just (essentially) prohibited from giving money to them.
