I could agree with this only if there were something in place that keeps
a new GLEP from being posted until it meets the proper layout.  I don't
want to see completely worthless entries that are still a work in
progress.  I would like it to at least be somewhat complete before I
spend time looking through them.

I'm thinking something like a barrier to entry, but not for editing.
Give the GLEP authors and a group of people accepted by the author
access to edit the GLEP.

I agree with you here.  Voting over a mailing list just isn't very
efficient.  Perhaps a login-restricted web page?  How about an app on
toucan?  "vote glep19 yes" or something equally as insane...
