I personally couldn't care less if someone is working on <insert popular framework>. It bothers me slightly that people who never/rarely participate in RFC discussions, fix bugs or otherwise contribute to internals should get a say on what happens to the language by hiding in the shadows and just voting when they feel like it. This isn't a personal attack on anyone in particular, just a general statement. I (like many others here, I'm sure) work on projects that dwarf a lot of open source projects in terms of size and complexity, but I wouldn't dream of asking for vote karma until I felt like I'd committed a substantial amount back to core. I personally think getting userland project leads involved in voting just for the sake of it, when they never get their hands dirty in the guts of the language, will lead to more "syntactic sugar" style improvements and less actual language improvements.
