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?

Interesting perspective. It implies that:

  1. The value of their policy work is significantly below the technical community's contributions value
  2. There is perceived status to be gained by climbing this particular social ladder.

I neither agree or disagree fully, but I believe there is value in good governance of large and diverse projects.

Whether their governance is good is what this whole kerfuffle is all about.

It implies that the value of their policy work is significantly below...

It's always safe to assume that value to be negative unless proven otherwise actually.
