Well, looking at the numbers, you're always going to see people who should be included, but who aren't in the list. At 100, you are sure to have only active contributors, but you are also certain to exclude some active contributors who should be able to vote. The two arbitrary levels (and I will admin they're arbitrary) which have been suggested are 10 and 25. For the last election, at 10, we would have included about 1000 maemo.org accounts, at 25 we would have included about 450. I think there's an argument to be made that 25 might be too high, but let's get more up to date figures before we close that discussion. I think 100 would definitely be too high. And given what you say afterwards, I think that you think this too.
