and at least my wish would be that people who donate their time by sending code patches to software considered essential to run the site are included.
In the 2011 election, anyone active with commit access (that is, the ability to change code in the software repository) also got a vote. It looks like that will be the case for this election, too.
In principle, I would expect more people to be eligible to vote as developers this time, because the new version control system (Git instead of Subversion) doesn't have the same barriers to access.
