    I'll note in passing that SPI and/or individual members of the SPI board
    have been willing to run voting machinery for other organizations at
    various times in the past, without requiring that the process involve
    having the electorate become SPI contributing members. If the TAB would
    like SPI to consider running a vote, we can certainly explore
    alternatives.

    The notion of explicitly inviting KS attendees and other kernel
    contributors to join SPI as contributing members is an interesting one I
    hadn't thought of. I at least would welcome the additional breadth of
    perspective such new members might bring to SPI. SPI has become "much
    more than Debian" in the last couple years, but I suspect we're still
    light on kernel contributors as contributing members.
