[Foundation-l] stewards elections

[Jimmy (Jimbo) Wales]

I see three candidates for Steward in this thread so far:
Yann, waerth, Danny.

Why don't I just make them all 3 stewards and we are done with it?

Those three are in irc all the time, and live in diverse parts of the
globe (France, New York USA, Thailand) so they add good time-of-day
diversity.

Stewards don't decide things, they carry out the wishes of the
community.  Therefore the issues of trust are quite minimal anyway,
and all three of those are stellar community members with excellent
reputations.

Having big public elections for everything is a bad idea.  People will
not be elected unless they are famous, but the way to get famous is not
the same thing as the way to be qualified for a technical position.

Imagine if we elected our developers for example...
