What happens when you send a single email like that has already been
demonstrated:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2006/10/msg00332.html
Add to that that this time there've been explicit threats to blacklist
applicants and make use of DSA access, and I think you'll find the ability
of a single e-mail to change things isn't quite so straightforward.
And, like I said, I had thought it was something that could be improved
internally, right up until the flamewar on -private forced me to look
into it in more depth, at which point my term was pretty much over. (The
DPL election process started two weeks afterwards)
