I'd guess you'll have a hard time to find users that are using a Harmattan device, were willing and entiteld to run for a position in a maemo entity, and yet never touched a Fremantle device. So the ballance you're asking for is probably not possible and neither it makes any sense.
We have always had sufficent interest of a sufficient number of body members in new OS. Unlike some of the comments here suggest, council members usually also don't see a "us vs them" situation between different versions of maemo OS. I for one have a N9 and a N950, but i'm not as active in Harmattan as I am and always been in Fremantle, but does that invalidate me for council?
[edit] a bottom line for clarity: council is supposed to care about all maemo versions. Council is the proxy of the maemo community. There's only one maemo community. (and for those still curious: it seems at least 3 of the candidates own a Harmattan device, last time I counted it)
