Thank you Lester for expressing that view. I am not really sure about
anonymous voting myself. I can understand that anonymous voting is a
good idea *during the voting phase* but I am strongly against
withholding the names of the voters as well as their vote *after the
voting ends*.

In any case I'm sure that this is something that affects the whole
RFC-Process and should be put up in a separate RFC and not just be
implemented "en passant" in a few lines of code. And In my eyes, as it's
a change to the RFC-Process it shoud need a 2/3rd majority.

Just my 2 cent.

Cheers

Andreas

PS: If there's no one else I would try to set up the RFC but would be
very gratefull to have someone mentor me there.
