I voted +1. I haven't had significant interaction with Stéphane but certainly recognized the name and had a favorable impression. But of my own knowledge, I have no strong opinion either way. So my +1 was driven primarily by the strong endorsement you gave. Was that worth writing up? Not to me ;-) It's probably unrealistic to imagine than _anyone_ in the future will be well known to a majority of then-current core devs. I only want to hear from those who _do_ have a strong opinion based on significant experience. So I'm disappointed that I've seen nothing from those who voted -1. In the absence of an explicit message, I can assume a +1 voter is happy enough with what the original proposer said. But in the absence of any -1 voter explaining their reasoning, I have no idea what to make of it.
