I wonder whether there's any good way to categorize decisions by their
seriousness and adjust the definition of a quorum accordingly.

E.g. a minor decision which needs to be made, yet exactly which way it is
made is relatively unimportant, should be able to be made even at a meeting
with low attendance. On the other hand, a very important decision should be
postponed if meeting attendance is low.
