How's this for a voting procedure:

* We set up a list of 5-10 candidates (including "no change").
  Say we name them A, B, C..

* Voters give a ranking of as many of these as they care to.
  Say as a comma-separated list of letters in a follow-up post.

* Someone collects the votes into a file, providing a Python snippet
  that reads this file into a list of (voterid, candidate, ranking).

* GvR uses this data whichever way he likes and makes a BDFL decision.

* And everybody else can analyze this data and tell the world what
  their favorite voting system would have come up with.
