I think since this is a tie-breaker situation which will presumably rarely happen, it doesn't really matter much. I was tempted to suggest that we deal with it by doing something like combine the appointment date and debian username, checksum that and sort by the result, but actually why don't we just avoid the problem completely by saying that we don't do simultaneous appointments? If we have multiple appointments on the same day, we can select at that moment who is going to be considered the earlier appointment, and appoint them a minute earlier, or some such. That decision can be made on any basis that the people in the TC feel reasonable at the time. The timestamps of the emails where the candidates declare that they're willing to be appointed would be a reasonable default.
