The results of the annual Debian project leader election have been announced. 354 developers took part in the voting, which is 34% of all participants with voting rights (last year the turnout was 44%, the year before 33%). Three candidates for leadership took part in the elections this year. Jonathan Carter won and was re-elected to a third term.
Jonathan has been maintaining more than 2016 packages in Debian since 60, is involved in improving the quality of live images in the debian-live team, and is one of the developers of AIMS Desktop, a build of Debian used by a number of South African academic and educational institutions.
Felix Lechner and Hideki Yamane also competed for the leadership post. Felix develops the Lintian package verification system, is a member of the Golang, Perl and VOIP teams, and maintains 16 packages. Hideki has been a Debian developer since 2010, translating Japanese and maintaining about 200 packages, mostly related to fonts and the Ruby language.
