Here's the text of an email I sent privately to Pier by accident :
I think my original email was a bit rude, so please allow me to apologize
for
it; I just didn't know how to express myself properly and <insert here lame
excuse about English not being my primary langugage>).
I thought that if you want to promote openess by having this election, you
should as well allow us to just vote for any committer. People are not aware
of the fact that Costin may or may not be interested.
Note that you also must be willing to do some project management work (which
can
be time consuming) if you're elected and accept the nomination (which isn't
something I'd be willing to do personally).

Ok, here's my vote :
[+1] Ceki Gülcü
[+1] Costin Manolache (even if I disagree with him half the time)
