That's really interesting. Maybe we should cobble up a GUI tool to download & correctly fill out & sign & email a ballot? Instead of numbering items (which requires knowing how to count) people could drag them into an order, etc. This would allow inactive or non-uploading DDs, ones who can't manage (or can't be arsed) to fill out and gpg-sign a ballot, to express their valuable opinions. It could look for the right key using the devscripts mechanisms, like ~/.devscripts DEBSIGN_KEYID and environment variables and such. Maybe check if any available private keys appear on the Debian keyring. That way people who haven't needed their key in years could still vote. (Not sure if joking.) --Barak.
