[Foundation-l] just an idea: add motivation commentary line, anonymized?

[Aphaia]

I had a similar - but opponent in its appearance inquiry last year.
"Why did you not vote". It helps me to organize this year Election. At
least PR for this community I asked their opinion.

But I'd love to consider such after the election. Now seeing
non-English communities hesitation for involvement (in Day 1, among
1100 votes, over 500 have come from enwiki alone, and there are only
two other community over 100 votes were casted).

Thanks,
