I don't have a feel for with the Pike electorate decreased but my gut
feel is that it was organic drop-off possibly in part to the shorter
Ocata development cycle. The Queens drop-off was due to a new[1]
membership API being available that meant we could validate Foundation
membership instead of using gerrit permission as a proxy.
Can we maybe calculate the electorate size using the old method as well
so that we can quantify how much of the dropoff (in theory it could be
more than 100%) was due to the change in effective eligibility criteria
vs. organic change in the number of contributors?

I'd like to call out that with Pike we had a very dramatic decrease in
voter turnout both in absolute and relative terms. As a community it's
worth trying to understand whether this is a problem and/or a trend that
needs to change.
Yours Tony.
