The Foundation has members (who can be anyone[0]), a board of trustees (who
must be active developers) and officers (some of whom can be anyone; but
some officer posts are restricted to trustees only, and thus are also
restricted to developers.)

The board is formed of active developers to sustain a relationship with the
developer community.
