Online identities are similar to real, you can't have 10 of them and be
significant contributor with all of them, so allowing to vote guys that are
often present and contribute can be pretty much enough to ensure fair voting.
If someone has 2 identities that nobody knows that belong to the same person
and significant contributions under both, is it really evil that such person
can cast 2 votes. On the other side I doubt that someone with good credit in
community will attempt to cast 2 votes and ruin his reputation if ever that
become known.
One of things that can help is trust rating system currently discussed only
for Build Service, but it should be extended to community. User directory
exist, add some voting system to each user name and there is lesser problems
when you need someone dependable. User can actively advertise his entry in
user directory, or hide it, but it would be one central place where one can
give opinion. Now it is only our memory that collects data on someone's
activity, special skills, contributions.

- non-members who have a verified identity by the proxy of a member
Say A is a member, but X, Y and Z aren't.
But A knows that X, Y and Z are
- real individuals, not fake identities used to fraud the election
- part of the openSUSE community, as contributors or users
How about restricting it so that each member can only vouch for one
non-member.
