We are in the process of discussing a variety of constitutional amendments
to be raised by the tech-ctte that will hopefully end up creating a sort
of bundle of constitutional fixes to vote on.  Perhaps it would be good to

the constitution that we refer to voting project members rather than
specifically people who upload software.
