As far as I understand, Debian has secret votes *only* for leadership
elections:

+---
| Votes are taken by the Project Secretary. Votes, tallies, and results
| are not revealed during the voting period; after the vote the Project
| Secretary lists all the votes cast.
+---[ https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution, 4.2 Procedure ]

and

+---
| The next two weeks are the polling period during which Developers may
| cast their votes. Votes in leadership elections are kept secret, even
| after the election is finished.
