I'd strongly advocate against relying on people watching a page to know
about votes — I have far too many pages on my watchlist, so never use it any
more, and pruning it to become useful again is one of those tasks I'm never
likely to get round to.
That said, User:Privatemusings put a note onto my User talk: page
(presumably using AWB) over the weekend, which is by far and away the best
way for us to inform people, imho. :o)

I think most people who put there name down should be
on this list or
either watching the page - at least I'd personally expect that from anybody
willing to join as a member :)
Still, it would be good to notify people on-wiki.

talk page, it would be good. I don't think we can expect everyone to
be either on this list or watching the meta page.
