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? 

sincerely,
