I fear it wouldn't work in practise. I have no idea whether the people I value, and would like to see in the position of DPL, have any inclination and, in particular, the needed free time to do so. It doesn't make much sense that everybody starts sending e-mails around "Hi $foo, I think you are $bar, would you mind me nominating you for DPL?". There are two approaches to solve this practical problem. One is that effectively we continue with self-nomination, just that the candidate needs to collect seconds before he goes public. The other would be that we would form "policital" parties who decide internally whom they nominate. I do not want political parties in Debian. > PS: Feel free to copy my part to a public list...
