Pascal Hakim, one of our list admins, told me on IRC that -private has about 844 subscribers, and according to the Secretary's vote page for this election[1], we have 908 developers. "Many" can be a slippery qualifier, but I admit the proportion of subscribers is far higher than I expected. I thought something like 1/2 to 2/3rds of our developers were subscribed. I must have given too much weight to the people who have periodcally trumpeted that they'll unsubscribe from -private if the off-topic stuff isn't kept to a minimum. :) Anyway, this figure is worth reporting if anyone wants to start a discussion of sensitive matters germane to the campaign. -private would be the place to do it.
