This approach is considered inferior by many because it is a source of discord to have a public vote like this fail or take a very long time.

The reason public votes are inferior is that some of the IPMC members may be reluctant to share their private issues or opinions of a prospective

committer on a public forum, period.

There is no other reason for not voting in public.

Personally, I generally consider it a bad idea to have discussions of people in a public forum, a view that I consider reinforced as more employers turn to scanning the Internet looking for information on staff or potential staff.
