How do you define “in the Pg community”? Is it someone who has posted to a known forum at least once? Someone who has been to a conference? What if they have never participated in a community forum, but use PostgreSQL at work? Maybe they would eventually submit a bug report or ask a question. How do you gauge that?

Me, I don’t think you can. If someone reports abusive behavior by a member of the Pg community, it should not matter whether or not the person doing the reporting is a member of the community, only that the reported abuser is.
