There will be an official list that I, as OGB Secretary, will publish the
moment
the nominations for the OGB 2008 elections are closed. That will be the only
official source.
I've found defect.opensolaris.org to be personally very useful in tracking the
candidates. Your mileage may vary of course - feel free to run for OGB
Secretary
next year.
FWIW, here's the run down in bugzilla -
o NEW indicates that the person has been nominated
- It may further list whether they have been seconded by another
core contributor, or accepted their nomination.
o CLOSED, FIXED means that they have been nominated, seconded and are
now in the line up for being a candidate in the OGB election
o CLOSED, WONTFIX usually means that the candidate has explicitly
decided not to run for election.

Are you suggesting that you have been nominated and that you're not on the
list?
I haven't seen any mail during the discussion, but it could be an oversight on
my part. I'll check through the archives this afternoon and double check. If
that's the case, my apologies.
