The ArbCom's power comes entirely from the willingness of the admins
and the community in general to implement the decisions it comes up
with. If we're willing to forgo the use of the formal voting
software, there's nothing stopping the community from running its own
ArbCom election.

Umm, the ArbCom's power comes from Jimbo as President of the Wikimedia
Foundation. The "community" can run its own election if it wants, but
Jimbo and the board choose how to spend the funds of the foundation
and how to administer the property of the foundation (such as the
servers).
