The French (XIXth century) Empire used notoriously public ballots, and the 
results were skewed to say the least. There is a good reason why ballots are 
supposed to be confidential.

And I don't think FFmpeg is immune to the same sort of issues. Consider the 
case of developers with any kind of corporate affiliation or financial 
dependency. What's to prevent their boss from telling them how to vote if the 
ballots are public?
