Creating fair governance models for open-source projects is not
easy; defining criteria for participants to receive membership and
voting rights is a particularly thorny problem for projects that have
elections for representative bodies. The Fedora
Council, the project's top-level governance body, is wrestling
with that conundrum now. This was triggered by a Fedora special-interest
group (SIG) granting temporary membership to at least one person for the
sole purpose of allowing them to vote in the most recent Fedora
Engineering Steering Council (FESCo) election. That opened a large can
of worms about what it means to be a contributor and how contributors
can be identified for voting purposes.
