I like what @fpletz is suggesting here for both process and nix cache long term management.

It seems like MJ3 (which is good old combined approval voting?) is a good compromise between simplicity and expressiveness. MJ5 is also good, and anything beyond would make voting a rather annoying process.

I’m no election system expert, but I get that people can really geek out on this! CIVS was a solid choice here because it’s ideal for electing a group with broad support:

  • Comparison vs. Grading: CIVS does head-to-head comparisons, showing preferences between candidates, while MJ3 uses overall grades, which is simpler but best for single-winner elections.
  • Median vs. Pairwise: MJ3 finds a median consensus for each candidate, but CIVS uses pairwise support across matchups, which shines in group elections.

It’s unfortunate some found it confusing, but CIVS really fits this committee setup!

Now that the election is over, I think its a good idea for this to be unpinned, and Community Team Updates be pinned instead.
