If this were the first time an election within the project had been
held, I'd agree...but as Rick points out, the core dev and even the PTL
election process have taken place in a more open manner.  So it is a
little odd to me that the same approach wasn't used for this.  Also, it
might make sense to confirm with nominees *before* placing them on the
list...so at least they know what they are getting into ;).
