If STeVe still has the goal to be a generic voting system
for use by not only the ASF but others as well, then it
makes sense for us to continue as is.
If, instead, the goals for STeVe have changed, or we have
realized that the only realistic users for STeVe are, in
fact, the ASF, then why not have Whimsy absorb STeVe as
well? Certainly there is duplication, etc... which would
make that viable.
Far from being a collection of "absolutely unnecessary yet
often quite handy applications", Whimsy is in fact becoming
a core requirement for the ASF, and so unless STeVe really
is going to stand on its own, it does seem to make sense
to fold it into Whimsy. This might also encourage Whimsy
to grow beyond its still singular (mostly) developer mode.

Could you explain what you mean by that? That's not to say that it is
not an intriguing thought, but at the moment there is little overlap
in development communities.
Or is the goal still to have STeVe be generic enough for
other external users?
Independent of how we structure PMCs, I would hope that remains the goal.

Are there instructions someplace for setting up and monitoring an
election on your own hardware?
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/steve/trunk/pysteve/GETTING_STARTED.txt
It's a very minimal install guide. I'll see if I have spare cycles to
elaborate a bit on how to install, but in my experience, it's just a
matter of pulling the pysteve contents into a CGI-enabled httpd instance
and having a standard elasticsearch (if you choose to use that) DB
running on the same machine.
In the case of ASF's vote-wip instance, it uses LDAP auth which then
goes to steve.cfg and checks which rights you have on the machine. I
have set up you as an admin of the vote-wip instance, so you should be
able to see/do everything there.
As for monitoring:
When you create an election, you specify who is designated as monitor of
the election. Right before you invite everyone to an election, you click
'Cue monitors' in the admin interface, and they will receive a link to
the monitoring site along with some checksum values. This link stuff
needs some improvements (some uniqueness added to it), but the basics
work as intended.
With regards,
Daniel.
