I'd like to reapply but I can't log in to the wiki, maybe my account was
lost after the wiki problems.

Also, is it really necessary for everybody to go through this process
every year or can some mechanism be used to automatically validate
people?  E.g. if somebody's name has appeared on a mailing list, if
their blog is syndicated on planet.jabber.org or if they made a
contribution to the wiki then that could qualify them to remain a member

We already have such a system to automatically track contributions in
Debian, for example:

https://contributors.debian.org/

https://contributors.debian.org/contributor/pocock@debian/
