I'd like to have a more inclusive approach here.

If someone the editors consider unsuitable is pushed into place by the
community, then this new editor still is obliged to fulfill their
duties.

If the editor doesn't fulfill their duties, then the board suspends them.

If they do, (and the description of the editor duties is robust
enough) then there isn't a problem.

While this isn't quite like an open source project, the OSI isn't
quite like an open source project.
