If people are contributing, it's expected that they will be aware of others who are contributing, and therefore should have an idea of what the candidates stand for and are interested in.

Still, to make my point clearer:
I follow ITT, the dev and the community mailing lists, read the planet regularly, ...

But that's not what it's about. I'd feel more comfortable knowing who these people really are rather than what they do. (We're not hiring somebody for a technical helpdesk, nor are we looking for a good developer.)

I wonder how other people make up their minds.
