The rule is very simple: anyone can nominate anyone. There are no implicit or explicit limits. There is nothing to be abused here, that's what's clear. You're just trying to blow this out of proportion. There are only two sane ways to deal with such an email. Either you consider this is the deed of an immature prankster and you just ignore it. Or you consider that, in some way, it is an unexpected improvement to the democratic process of our council elections, giving a chance to some quiet developers who wouldn't dare nominating themselves and who also don't bombard the mailing lists in order to occupy the media space. In any case, this kind of knee jerk reaction is not appropriate. Nor is a comrel bug. I was expecting much better from such an experienced developer as you, and a current council member on top of that. Denis.
