Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :-)

In the last FESCo election, 273 ballots were cast [0]. According to the
graph maintained by Matthew Miller [1], we have between 225 and 375
active maintainers in Fedora, depending on how you count.

That says that FESCo elections are ~5x more participated in than these
mailing list discussions, and are a much more representative sample of
all our (active?) packagers. I'm not sure if FESCo votes count as
packager activity in the above graphs; I'm guessing not.
