I agree that the results can be easily skewed with the current open door
policy. That said, that's what the Foundation bylaws mandate (low bar of
entry for Foundation members), so changing that now will probably
require a substantial change in Foundation bylaws.

In fairness, PTL and Technical Committee elections are a lot simpler to
organize. It's relatively easy to determine "who contributes code/doc to
a project" or "who is a technical contributor", given that we have hard
data on that. It's much more difficult to determine the list of people
"with some sort of involvement with OpenStack".
