Lets... see! Going over the published statistics,
- 611 ballots were received, but only 609 were MIME-decoded. I have no idea what those two ballots had
- From those 609, only 474 passed the signature and LDAP checks, this means, were from valid, identified Debian people
- From those 474, 11 were bad ballots -- We are asked to preserve a given format for devotee to parse, 11 people didn't. There were 463 votes tallied, and 463 acks created.
- (611 ballots received + 11 bad ballots)=622. 463 acks were created. So, 148 rejects sent.
- I am not sure of the acks sent/unsent bit, but I think it's because Devotee works with gpg v1, so it does not send acks to people with elliptic curve-based gpg key. I cannot assure this, but IIRC that's what happened
- There were 420 unique voters. And where is the 43 figure between votes tallied and unique voters? It is not published. Every developer can (and should, given how close this election was!) check their vote to be correctly tallied.
Also -- we are not a country, we are a project. There is a high trust on Kurt, the project secretary.
