The second issue is that we don't have any way to run an election on the
project, since we don't have a way to determine "contributors" (or rather,
the only voter and potential candidate under those rules would be Monty).
You can't even apply to be the PTL :) That is obviously an exceptional case
and if I read Tristan's answer correctly, it will naturally end up in the
process where the TC ends up picking the PTL. It feels natural if you're the
only candidate that we would pick you, but that will likely have to wait
until the end of the election period.
I don't think we have the luxury of waiting. There needs to be a small
amount of corrective action taken now.
As pointed out elsewhere in this thread the TC has the ability to appoint a PTL
should a project end up leaderless should that happen.
However, at the risk of sounding like a humorless automaton, we have a valid
candidate.

In the interests of transparency I'll say this here. Monty if you do *NOT*
have a genuine desire to lead the packaging-deb team please abandon that review
ASAP.
Also by the rules I feel like we have no choice but to reject

Like others have said, it's impossible to change election rules
mid-flight. So we seem to have two ways out of this hole that would not
break the established rules:
1/ Monty abandons his candidacy, so we have no valid candidate and the
TC ends up picking the PTL (and may pick up Thomas, as he is the only
volunteer)
2/ Monty does not abandon his candidacy, and automatically ends up as
Packaging-deb PTL (that does not prevent Thomas from working on it, but
Monty gets the final call on disputes)
Thomas: I'd advise you have a talk with Monty - his candidacy is valid
unless he abandons it (and he has a pretty valid history and experience
around debian packaging in openstack, so it's not as if he was the
craziest candidate ever).
