If you want just to know how many admins (or non admins) voted, it is
not impossible, while it would be not so easy. We haven't published
each ballots, but voters' lists were online (I am not sure if it is
still on the SPI wiki or if SPI wiki is still online though). But it
would be wise to set up another committee to analyze such, not the
people who designs the voting system imo.
