For what its worth, I think option #2 is the best.
I think option #1 is out of the question and I think that #3 is flawed
because the 8th spot developer's situation or commitment to the project may
have changed since the last vote and in any case that developer would be
free to partake in the running vote with #2.

Personally i'd rather go with #3, but the GLEP also states:

Seems to be the closest case to a member simply resigning with the
slacker regulation.

Seems to be the best - and least complicated - version to me.
4. The position stays empty until the next election (As long the
number of council members doesn't drop below a certain number,
let's say 5.
Just adding this as it may be an option, too.

Agreed, personally i'd go with #2.
