OK, so who's going to look through every revision to make sure that
everyone correctly added their vote, and didn't accidentally remove
someone else's vote?

NO!
Now for the explanation. :-) I am a big fan of Wiki, but it does
not
replace the mailing list. The mailing list should be used for
discussion,
and MUST be used for voting. The mailing lists are archived and
provide an
paper trail. They are a record of the project.
not to mention the volatility of the wiki. ANYONE can change it
however they
like.
It is ok for capturing a _snapshot_ of an ongoing conversation (i.e.
the
latest and greatest design of a system). Things like that tend to
get
a
bit muddled on the mailing list over time, so a WIKI with the latest
and
greatest status helps out a heap.
For votes and such, the wiki is the wrong tool for the job.
