Which accounts get to vote is Which isn't necessarily the same as one vote per person. I think the chance of significant ballot stuffing going on to influence who gets to do a lot of work for free are low. But someone might try something as a prank. It's been a few months since I did the CLA, and my memory is that the process is automatic up until the point where I need to get into a group that can do something. > a pretty trivial discussion, one that could be made easily during a meeting > without spewing all kinds of hate across the mailing lists.

This shows a bit more interest. It also requires manual approval so that some prankster can't hose an election by creating a lot of dummy accounts. (This would most likely be detected, but would still be a significant annoyance to have to clean up after.) I think this category would include all of the people that people have been concerned about in this discussion. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
