I see your point, and the like the refundable nature.

Let me propose a silly alternative that might cost more than $250 (in time):
     They have to submit their recall petition in the form
     of an XMLv3 I-D with their signature in SVG.

{okay, it's scriptable in the end}

If 3/5 remote registrations isn't right, then I'd go some different criteria.
Like having submitted an I-D to the DT at least 3 times in the past 20 months.
Or make it a WG document.
Or maybe it's enough to have had a DT login for at least 24 months, which has
been active at least 4 times yearly.

There are lots and lots of criteria we could come up with.

The question to Richard is really: is there some criteria which he could
imagine which would prove "skin in the game" for a remote participant which
he has never met?   If the answer is yes, then we are just negotiating for
the criteria.
