Err, that was sloppy wording on my part; though Debian is their largest 
member project, they're elected by all their member projects, which 
include others such as Drupal. Nonetheless the election outcomes are 
still as summarized above. (I suppose this is like assuming Wikipedia is 
the only important Wikimedia project. ;-))
