Not very sure about it. And how do we announce the new commiter that he has been voted? Are we still making the announcement public? The feeling of being voted is very nice, you get a picture of the people that appreciate what you do. Letting this go would be a pitty and if we are not removing this part then it means we are gonna duplicate the vote.
Also the voting process is usually initiated by an existing commiter. IMO the initiator is responsible to assure he is proposing someone who will be accepted without problems. Until now people that didn't agreed with something (or didn't had enough information about the topic) they didn't vote. Because our number is increasing I propose to increase the needed votes to pass the proposal from 3 to 5+, or why not even half+1 in important cases, like this one. IMO, we either do everything public or not. So doing a private list just for this purpose is not sufficient IMO and is also a not very encountered case.
