How about:
- When you vote, you additionally generate a random id and submit it
with the vote.
- In the vote list, the secretary publishes the id next to the vote.
You can still verify your vote, but you have no way to prove that you
chose a particular id, so you can't convince anyone that a particular
vote is yours.
A separate matter: It's important that a sample of developers who
did not vote verify that their names are not on the voter list; and
that someone verify that all of the names on the voter list are
Debian developers.
