The debate on Anonymous voting has been voted on already?

From my own point of view, I like to know who supports and who opposes a
particular RFC simply because I can't vote myself. It helps me to decide
if I need to look deeper into the RFC or if I can rely on those with
voting rights that I trust to get it right. We should not have to hide
our views so the idea that anonymity is a right is part of the problem
in the modern world? Part of the reason for now needing a CoC?
