There's a poll about the voting method to use to decide on the winning
governance PEP. We'd like to see more people weigh in:
https://discuss.python.org/t/python-governance-electoral-system/290/26
PEP 8001 specifies that IRV will be used. There's pushback against
that. Since a poll is a form of approval voting, there's also
pushback against using a poll to vote on the voting method. But we
really don't have the time to pursue infinite regress to its end ;-)
I'm not in charge of anything, so take this for what it's worth: pick
the option(s) that are closest to what you can live with, but add a
comment to the poll if there's some aspect of what you vote for that
you really can't abide (e.g., at least one person said they would vote
for Approval, _except_ that they object to getting the PSF Board
involved in case there's a tie). The high-order bit of this poll is
about the basic approaches people can live with, not details of how
problem cases are handled.
