As for the "please email everyone personally", I just don't have the time to email 30 people that Giampolo listed or the 89 total people who could vote but didn't commit or author something in the past two years . But do note that me lacking the time doesn't mean someone else can't take it upon themselves to reach out to folks and let them know about them (risking) falling off in this vote or in future votes as all of this information and code is accessible to all core developers; other than Ernest's roll of managing the vote no one is in a place of privilege, just in a place of putting the time in. I personally have already sank days into making this vote work starting months ago via pulling together the historical record and spending all of my precious coding time at the core dev sprints this year writing the code to generate the voter roll, and so sinking even more by managing a personal email to everyone is just too much for me to dedicate on top of everything else. I can help with that. I use mail merge frequently as part of running EuroPython. All I need is a CSV file with the names and emails (or some other format).
As for recording who responded and how, I'd suggest to add flags to the core dev database, which I can then update and Ernest can use for the voters roll script.
