I don't. When I remember how the debates were stressful and painful, and with harasment to persons (I mean during the GR debate), I think some GHRs require secret votes. Neither I care other DDs to see my votes when it affects Debian (DPL, internal GRs, etc), or a technical debate, issue. But from the time Debian starts addressing non-technical topics, I want my vote to be secret. For reminde, even once the vote was started, pressures went on to influence vote. So...
I don't see why I would want to hide my opinion from the other DDs.Going this path, I don't think we would need to vote on it. Please, if possible, avoid too much voting if we have other ways to fix the issue: this is exhausting everyone.
hmm I agree with this. Votes would not need to be secret if Debian would not start taking political decisions. I hope the project will not need it often. Anyway this situation needs to be addressed in our processes.
