Unfortunately, it's fairly burdensome:
Any contributing member of SPI is eligible to vote.

Contributing memberships are open to persons and organizations who
have made significant contributions to the free software community,
as determined by the membership committee.
The membership committee and its charter will make reasonable and
fair procedures for these determinations, including for acquiring
necessary information such as lists of projects a prospective member
has participated in or testimonials, and for regularly reviewing the
status of contributing members.
While I think that's laudable, we definitely don't have the resources
for that, as everyone on the TAB already has a full workload. And it
hardly seems worth the trouble for a once-a-year election.
