I have gotten these question in the past, and I think it's important to be able to be asked why you made a specific choice. > Though, anonymous voting would mean no potential for harassing people > for the way they voted (though they're not necessarily free of > harassment for their opinion - many people make theirs public anyway). I do think that for normal RFCs, voting should not be anonymous. However, if we go that way, I find it important that once voting is closed, the votes are always shown (for normal RFCs) - even if chose to make normal RFC voting anonymous. > One concern I have with the patch is that it doesn't appear (by my > reading of the code) to show who voted.
