since we all use PGP to sign our packages it should be rather simple to
setup a "debian" key and have the server send via encrypted-signed email a
ballot in which the developers can vote and turn in by replying and
signing. It should also be fairly simple to create a script that tallys
the votes and discounts any duplicates from the same address, delete any
in signed ballots and delete the ballots of non-developers.
