There is a log and we know who did edit what. Basic trust is required
anyway and if such tricks happen, really, I do not know what to think
about the person doing them (well I do, but that's not the place to
say it).

A plugin will be installed to ease the process, login, vote. You won't
be able to add/edit other votes.

About when a vote happens and how to inform the devs, I do not see
other solutions than getting the devs to read the discussions on the
MLs. If some can't stand the heat, then we can't do much for them
anyway,

Cheers,
