Hi, We could just declare that "You may vote if you have contributed to the source code of Sage" and leave it at that. The idea is to give people a criteria for voting. Perhaps this is a bad criteria, e.g., it excludes our webmaster (Harald Schilly), since he's done a lot to support Sage, but I don't think he's contributed code to the library -- at least I didn't find him in Dima's list from GitHub.
