What are we to make of the fact that there is only one candidate for next Debian Project Leader?
Seems like no one else wanted the job, and although Sruthi has been a candidate before, they have never held the position before.
It has always seemed like a fantastically hard job to me.
I'm a bit saddened to see some Debian Developers getting sucked in to the concern trolling and actually suggesting that Sruthi "could" withdraw to force a new election. I would have hoped they could see that this is not a fair thing to suggest to someone who has complied with all the rules, and again begs the question why this is suddenly an issue this time.
e.g.
Nice one Héctor
"I would like you to know, since I was the one doing late nomination, that Sruthi got all my support."
@daubers
Just the pearl clutching over this particular candidate is a very bad look, I would have hoped Developers would have been able to see through that. I'm sure most of them can.
I fear that what's seen might only be the tip of the iceberg for the unequal treatment Sruthi will get during her term.
