In thinking about this I might have an additional solution:

A hacker is someone who:

In the last 24 months has contributed -n- number of patches or a patch
of significant value to the project.

Obviously we get into some subjective ideas here, what is a significant
value to the project? HOT and Tsearch2 come to mind and I think that
under no circumstances should we not provide examples.

In all, this is certainly not a perfect solution but there is no such
thing in the first place.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
