Again, I have no desire to change this year's process, but for future years an alternate solution would be my preference.

"the GNOME Foundation now uses one of the STV variants (Scottish STV, according to the result page).
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote for discussion on STV. There are pros and cons, obviously."
Is there software available to do the vote counting for STV?
The wikipedia page has a list :-) Interestingly, OpenSTV (which is what the GNOME Foundation uses) used to be free software, but is not anymore. I guess it's possible to find version 1.7 which was the last one to be GPL-2.0+.
Also, am I the only one bothered by winners having less than 50%? If so, we can leave it as it is.
I think it would have been hard to have a winner with more than 50% with so many candidates. That being said, I wouldn't mind a change to another voting method, as long as it's still simple for the voters (and relatively simple for the election committee).
