I would be comfortable with a policy that requires XX% of very active 
users (defined as 100 edits/month) as an alternative minimum, with a 
hard minimum of somewhere between 5-10 users.  Even very small projects 
can usually come up with at least five people, or they really are 
"one-man band" type projects dominated by a single editor.  For larger 
projects like en.wikipedia, the 30 editor minimum approval seems very 
reasonable or perhaps even a little bit low.
