The problem here (at the moment) is getting a reliable database of those signatures. If Mickey Mouse "signs" the blue sheet portion of an Etherpad for a few sessions, he will become eligible.

We'd need a sign-in system based on datatracker logins. That doesn't sound like an impossible dream, but it's also probably more than a few lines of Python.

We could mock up such a database by doing a sort-merge of the lists in the IETF 107 Etherpads and manually checking for bogons, but I don't think that would tell us much.
