Debian project leader candidates emerge

When Leaderless Debian was written, itseemed entirely plausible that there would still be no candidates for theproject leader office even after the extended nomination deadline passed.It is now clear that there will be no need to extend the deadline further,since three candidates (Joerg Jaspert,JonathanCarter, andSam Hartman)have stepped forward. It seems likely that the wider discussion on therole of the Debian project leader will continue but, in the meantime, theoffice will not sit empty.

Update: nominations from MartinMichlmayr andSimonRichter also came in before the deadline, so this year's election willbe a five-way race.
