hasufell,

GLEP 39 says ...

"A project is a group of developers working towards a goal (or a set of 
goals). "

Further, the council was set up as "A project ..." as defined by GLEP 
39
"A project exists if it has a web page at www.g.o/proj/en/whatever that 
is maintained and/or a maintained Wiki project page as described 
below."

Thus only Gentoo devs may serve on the council.  It makes little point 
to allow others to be nominated since they cannot be elected.

The Council was probably set up as another project, per GLEP 39 as 
that's the only metastructure, other than the Foundation, that existed 
at the time.
