My comments:
A mediocre result, neither good nor bad.
The best option for people who don't want to use systemd, Option 6 "E: Support
for multiple init systems is Required", came in last.
But Option 1 "F: Focus on systemd" came in second place, if it had won it would
have been a tragedy.
We remain more or less as we are ("The Debian project recognizes that systemd
service units are the preferred configuration", "Packages may include support
for alternate init systems besides systemd and may include alternatives for any
systemd-specific interfaces they use", "Maintainers use their normal procedures
for deciding which patches to include", "Debian is committed to working with
derivatives that make different choices about init systems" as a simple
recommendation), now with the certainty that it will remain so for at least
some time. A project offering Debian packages free of systemd dependencies
remains necessary.
Best regards!

Result of the Debian vote
'General Resolution: Init systems and systemd'

The voting period ended on Friday 2019-12-27 23:59:59 UTC
Result
https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_initsystems/results.txt
The winners are:
Option 2 "B: Systemd but we support exploring alternatives"
Proposal B Proposer: Sam Hartman [hartm...@debian.org] [text of proposal]
[amendment]
Choice 2: B: Systemd but we support exploring alternatives
Using its power under Constitution section 4.1 (5), the project issues the
following statement describing our current position on Init systems, multiple
init systems, and the use of systemd facilities. This statement describes the
position of the project at the time it is adopted. That position may evolve as
time passes without the need to resort to future general resolutions. The GR
process remains available if the project needs a decision and cannot come to a
consensus.
The Debian project recognizes that systemd service units are the preferred
configuration for describing how to start a daemon/service. However, Debian
remains an environment where developers and users can explore and develop
alternate init systems and alternatives to systemd features. Those interested
in exploring such alternatives need to provide the necessary development and
packaging resources to do that work. Technologies such as elogind that
facilitate exploring alternatives while running software that depends on some
systemd interfaces remain important to Debian. It is important that the project
support the efforts of developers working on such technologies where there is
overlap between these technologies and the rest of the project, for example by
reviewing patches and participating in discussions in a timely manner.
Packages should include service units or init scripts to start daemons and
services. Packages may use any systemd facility at the package maintainer's
discretion, provided that this is consistent with other Policy requirements and
the normal expectation that packages shouldn't depend on experimental or
unsupported (in Debian) features of other packages. Packages may include
support for alternate init systems besides systemd and may include alternatives
for any systemd-specific interfaces they use. Maintainers use their normal
procedures for deciding which patches to include.
Debian is committed to working with derivatives that make different choices
about init systems. As with all our interactions with downstreams, the relevant
maintainers will work with the downstreams to figure out which changes it makes
sense to fold into Debian and which changes remain purely in the derivative.
