I'm withdrawing this proposal.  gelinas has entered one in item:111 that 
would accomplish basically the same thing, and has the following 
advantages:

- It's more elegantly worded, and clearer, thanks to approaching the 
problem from a slightly different angle.
- It doesn't explicitly put limits on staff, and gelinas himself is a 
staff member.  This avoids the appearance of ordinary members dictating 
restrictions on staff, something that was a source of strong opposition 
to my proposal.  Politically, it's more carefully crafted.

Further discussion should probably shift to item:111.
