Indeed. Having elections means determining who's
eligible to vote, and that has all kinds of cascading

It's a safe bet that the FSF people who show up on this list once or
twice a year to "vote" on a proposal that they have been told to "vote"
on, would also show up at election time to vote for or against
candidates according to what they have been told. That's not democracy,
and in order to prevent it, you have to establish full formal membership
policies.
