26 Hm, that's actually what I proposed in the very first place in
27 #gentoo-dev, but people felt uncomfortable about devs electing those
28 who should kick their butt (well, not only, but that's definitely a
29 devrel responsibility as well).
30 The question came up if that could even lead to deals being made and
31 devrel members unsure and biased to take disciplinary action against
32 those who elected them.
33 If we think about this possibility, then an anonymous election is a
34 must here as well.

36 Having the council do that, is more indirect, but will solve the
37 mentioned concerns.
