Being a part of a group such as this is not just a privilege, it is a
responsibility.

It isn't about "qualified" or not.  If they cannot remain members of
the list, then they are not members of the assembly.

It is easy enough in just about every modern email client for average
users to filter emails from lists such as this one into their own
folder.  Then they can select which ones to read, if any, when they
come in each day.  The barrier to being a voting member is a small
one, and I don't feel it is reasonable to say that it is too high a
barrier.  It is a quite simple and quite small commitment to make.
