I think the voting thing is a terrible idea

Greg KH will probably take over

Perhaps a ranked voting system? Succession methodologies rarely work any better, and lead to all kinds of nepotism.

We need nepotism in the Kernel, whomever takes over needs to be a long time developer with skills.

Elections are great for steering committees and such it not for a huge highly technical piece of software that powers the world
