Fine! Then I write them in the wiki and we aim to launch on monday 21/12.

Yes, my question was about the part within parentheses

Then, we can say that submitting a PR gives a person the right to vote, 
independently of the PR having been accepted or not.

We will wait for the answer on this then. In a sense, we could just 
start on monday 21/12 and hope for a clear solution regarding the voting 
system later during the process. But perhaps this is too risky. I would 
prefer to have a definition on which system is to be used and how to use 
it before launching the election.
