My philosophy is and hopefully will always be that we have trust in the 
committee members that do the voting. They all put in their time and more 
importantly their heart. Whatever method you come up with, bias and personal 
preferences come into play. I trust in the people/members + the guidelines as 
we already have them. Sometimes the result is unfavorable for myself, most of 
the times it fits what the majority of the community (of like minded people 
working on FOSS) is happy with. Which one is more important?!
Merit is what a lot of trust within the FOSS community is based on. It is a 
core value of OSGeo and FOSS4G from my point of view. 
Cheers, Jeroen
