As nobody expressed a preference, the vote will start next Monday

The only extra GA candidate I see proposed so far is Ronald. If anyone
wants to suggest further people, please do so in this thread ASAP.
IMHO the question of the relation of the list of people who could vote
in the last GA vote and the people who where in the general assembly
in 2020 should be awnsered before further votes.

As far as I can tell, the voter list in the last vote should be the same
as the GA from 2020, except for the extra members whose voting rights
expire after 2 years.
Do you dispute that?
If the current GA stays as it is, then i propose the following people
(this list was quickly made and certainly has omisions and possibly errors,
check anything thats important to you!)
The presumed 2020 General assembly as well as people who have subtantial
contributions over the lifetime of the project where the source of this list

Sending voting emails to people who have not had any contact with the
project for years, can be regarded as spamming. I think there should be
some confirmation that these people are actually interested in having
voting rights.
