[$] Leaderless Debian

One of the traditional rites of the (northern hemisphere) spring is theelection for the Debian project leader. Over a six-week period, interestedcandidates put their names forward, describe their vision for the projectas a whole, answer questions from Debian developers, then wait and watchwhile the votes come in. But what would happen if Debian were to hold anelection and no candidates stepped forward? The Debian project has justfound itself in that situation and is trying to figure out what will happennext.
