No, he doesn't promise votes, but if you *want* votes, all you have to do is
ask for them.  Heck, if you want a *million* votes, just ask and you'll get
them too.  I have at least trillions of votes, thanks to a signing bonus.
You can even sell your votes to others, if you want -- votes are granted
under a very Pythonic "do whatever you want" license.  Here:

    +-------------------------------------------+
    | Be it known that this instrument entitles |
    | the bearer to 1000000 (One Million)       |
    | Python Votes.                             |
    |                                           |
    | GvR                                       |
    +-------------------------------------------+

Make as many copies as you like.  Guido promises to honor them at the stated
value -- provided that an issue arises that's open to voting.
