Sebb commented on WHIMSY-426:
-----------------------------
FTR: Neil was unable to use the form to add an existing committer to the
nominated-members.txt file because the update method detected duplicate 'n/a'
entries. Such duplicates (but not others) are now allowed.
> member-files.rb errors on nominees with no availid

> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Shane Curcuru
> Assignee: Sebb
> Priority: Minor
>
> As reported by Neil: nominating someone without an existing committer id
> fails because this requires an availid lookup. New Member nominations must
> not require a committer ID; they should fallback to simply keeping the
> existing text of a nomination block.
> See this and possibly other places that make this assumption:
