This could be a bit of a problem, since I have a feeling that several dedicated community members were excluded this time around. In the case of some well known community members (like for instance Jan-Bart iirc), this got corrected. But as always in such cases, it might be wise to investigate a little further, you know, just in case you're looking at the tip of an iceberg you didn't know was there.
Perhaps a poll along the lines of "I feel like I'm a member of the community, but nevertheless was not allowed to vote" would be useful?
