"can"?  "lists"?

How about...

In order for their self-nominations to be considered valid, Debian
Developers must send a GPG-signed email in which they nominate
themselves to the debian-vote@lists.debian.org mailing list.

How about "To be valid, a Debian Developer can send a signed email
nominating themselves to the debian-vote@lists.debian.org lists"?

(I'm not a native speaker.)

I only noticed the "he", but "himself" is of course also a
problem.  Thank you for the suggestion.

I hereby nominate myself as a candidate in the DPL election
2009. Platform to follow shortly.

Apologies for leaving this so late: I've been unsure whether or not I
wanted to stand again this year, but after a lot of pestering by
friends I've decided I should. If elected, I will be appointing an
assistant to help with the workload. Luk Claes has volunteered to be
that person, and I thank him for that. :-)

You mean I can nominate someone else? ;-P

(suggested phrasing:

"To be valid, a Debian Developers can send a signed email in which they
nominate themselves, to the debian-vote@lists.debian.org lists"

this nicely avoids gender issues while not having to use single plural
idiosynchracies)

Of course they can.  I will be more careful next time, and replace
it by "the candidate".
