What you are suggesting would be accepting every single intern

joining the Foundation. That will probably lead to a wider membership
base for sure but how long these people are going to really stay
around if their interest of contributing to the project was only
tracked by the stipend they received?

I don't think that this is necessarily different from other paid contributors, except that other paid contributors are more likely to have long-term employment working on GNOME. So I don't know why this distinction is made. Can you explain the rationale a bit more?
