well, the definition of "community" is (for voting purposes) defined (I didn't preface that word with a 'well-' prefix) in this instance.

however, despite having met the guidelines, the poorly maintained database(s?) may not necessarily reflect qualifying membership, and some users will be, thusly, disenfranchised.

I signed in with my account and voted on bugs (which, if I remember correctly, is exactly why I signed up there in the first place!!) back in February and March, yet the only activity showing in the database @ maemo.org is the day I joined a development team a few weeks ago... so, they assume my membership is only a few weeks old. ...and I am not eligible to vote. hmph.
