1 Here's the results as of this morning. Fifty-three people voted (not
2 including myself, since I'm doing the counting). I should have had us
3 set up a mail alias so that somebody else also received the votes, since
4 with this method people have to trust that my counting is honest. Sorry
5 about that.

17 Multiple people commented that this question was too simplistic. Does
18 the X years need to be continuous? What happens with a dev who is on
19 hiatus for some period of time? Should there be an alternative
20 "fast-track w/ Y nominations from existing members" route to becoming
21 a member? Nonetheless, there does seem to be a substantial consensus
22 that 1 year is about right.
