Thanks Guillaume for your answer. I provided enough info for the Community Engagement to double-check if they want to, and I have no personal interest in the outcome, so I am happy to leave it as it is now.
Cheers Yaroslav

Hello Yaroslav,
Yes, the Foundation's Community Engagement department, who are the most familiar with Wikimedia communities, reviewed the applications thoroughly. If you have concerns about a specific person, which obviously can't be discussed on a public list, I happy to discuss them with you privately.

Thanks the coordinators. I do not know everybody on the list, but I recognize there names of many excellent people.
I also see there a name which has rung a bell for me, and the sound of
the
bell was somewhat alarming. I checked and found indeed that the
coordinator
has a sizable block log on the Russian Wikipedia, their home project, for actions which include trolling and disruptive editing, and at some point had to be placed under a topic ban. The most recent block is one and half years ago. Which poses a natural questions whether the candidates were actually screened.
