This site seems reasonable. The only question I have, is how do we
generate the list of voters. We don't have valid email addresses for
many. Do we have a "registration" period where authors send us valid
email addresses? I've written a perl script to extract out email
addresses from the bzr log files but it the addresses need quite a bit
of clean up and the list is far from complete.

I think that we start with that, and then send out ballots. We then announce that all those who believe they should have gotten a ballot and have not should contact the elections committee. It's unfortunately not fool proof, but I think it's the best we can do given the situation.

Typically this is how things like license changes are done as well :-/
