Original comment:

I don’t know much about voting systems, but I know someone who does. Unfortunately he’s currently banned. Maybe we can wait until his 3-month ban expires and ask him for advice?

The Python steering committee bans Tim Peters, a Python core developer, for 3 months. In an unrelated discussion, someone proposed a new election system for the steering committee. Then the creator of Python insinuated through a comment in the post suggesting why not we ask for an opinion from an expert that he knows, but we need to wait a bit as he's been banned. OP claims this comment has been removed, but may be it's been reinstated as it's still there last time I check.

edited: some grammar typos, and edit some words for clearer context.

The simplest explanation is that an automod action was triggered on the word "banned," and then a mod manually reinstated it. Until I hear further, that's what I'm going to assume happened.
