Hi,

We have four candidates:
Ben Ramsey, Gabriel Caruso, Joe Ferguson, and Sara Golemon

I've put a ranked voting poll online at 
https://wiki.php.net/todo/php80#release_managers

Please fill in your first to fourth preferences, making sure you do not 
pick a candidate more than once. You don't have to fill in all 4 
preferences, but please don't leave gaps.

cheers,
Derick

Hi,

I probably should have mentioned until when I was intending to keep this 
open, but it would be the usual time frame for voting, making this end 
on April 21st, at 16:00 UTC+1.

cheers,
Derick

## #109756 — Derick Rethans — 2020-04-21T16:39:32+00:00

Hi,

The vote on the PHP 8.0 Release Managers is now closed, and I've run the 
STV system to elect our next RMs!

(Spreadsheet is at 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zK425Lu-kYSzsLjL0_U5eLhpr5JYI7vCkZNtPOO_2wE/edit#gid=671237143 
if you want to check the numbers)

Votes: 42, Seats: 2, Quorum: 15	floor(42 / (2+1)) + 1

First preference:

Ben	7
Gabriel	2
Joe	1
Sara	32

Sara is elected, with 17 surplus votes. Congrats!

There are 29 second preferences (Ben 11, Gabriel 18) to distribute these 
17 surplus votes too (1 goes away due to rounding):

Ben	6	floor(11/29*17)
Gabriel	10      floor(18/29*17)

Total after distribution:

Ben	13
Gabriel	12
Joe	1
Sara	15

Joe gets eliminated with the fewest votes. The vote that had Joe as 
first pref transfers to Gabriel as that person's second pref was for 
Sara, which already one. After transfering, the result is:

Ben	13
Gabriel	13
Sara	15

Now the next step is to eliminate the person with the lowest amount of 
votes, but... as you can see it's a tie :-(

STV allows for different ways of solving a tie, but as we didn't setup 
that rule before voting, we can't now pick one, so we have to go to 
run-off vote between Ben and Gabriel as second person to be RM with 
Sara.

The new vote is open at https://wiki.php.net/todo/php80#round_two and 
will run until May 5th, 18:00 UTC+1 — If this results in a tie again, 
then Sara can pick her running mate :-)

cheers,
Derick
