"We": you and I in particular participated in this discussion on the elections team mailing list [1]. You were not convinced, but this is the available solution that the elections team decided on [2].
I agree with you that is an important issue. Just for clarity's sake - the decision on what system to use for *this* election will not be changed 4 days before voting begins. If you want to vote, please do register on SqP.

We would do better to talk about it and decide.
Personally, I'm not going to participate in this discussion. Because we talked about it and we decided, last year. Nothing changed so far, no need to spend time on this discussion.
Clearly, "we" made no such decision, as evidenced by this very thread.
People are posting that they do not like using an automatic reputation system to define who is in the group. It is especially bad to use a system whose properties are neither known [1] nor discussed [2].
Community membership is the heart of a community. Are we going to bother? Who does the SqueakFoundation represent?
