Dear Maarten,
I'm sorry that the process looks ridiculous to you. About the fact that
only two people evaluated your submission, please take a look at
https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Critical_issues_presentations#Eval…
. I can only add that this year PC members, instead of evaluating all
papers, had to bid for those they wanted to review. Therefore you have less
reviews, but they are more qualified because your submission was chosen by
someone who found it fell in his/her area of interest or of expertise.
About the fact that in your case, unfortunately, there are no verbal
motivations for the numeric score, that depends on the fact that PC members
were not obliged to give such motivations. Some did nevertheless.
About the fact that you've been sent the reviews without the names of the
reviewers associated to them, I must blame the limitations of the EasyChair
sofware, which from some points of view has been infernal to deal with. I'm
sorry, as soon as we upload the submissions to the wiki you will see this
information, too.
I hope I answered your questions.
Best regards,
Michele

So only two people reviewed this? Who are these people? Why is this secret? Last year I
had 5 people reviewing my submission [1].

I've just received feedback on one of my pitches saying, in part:
"Bad boy Andy! This is supposed to be an anonymous review process, so
starting your abstract with your own name, is not entirely fair."
