That sounds like it would just encourage an equivalent of editcountitis, pointless bureaucracy even enwp hasn't adopted - like saying "you must make blah content page edits to be a 'content contributor'". But what if they start pages, or do files, or do dispute resolution or npp so that other folks can make content? There are many, if not more, parallels here that go well beyond line count in what makes a developer, because there are many pieces to the development process - such as code review, bug triaging, feasibility testing, rfcs, and mockups, to name a few random things. Line count is an essentially meaningless metric by itself, especially if you are looking for developers who are well-established in the general community.
