Debian project leader candidates emerge

When Leaderless Debian was written, it
seemed entirely plausible that there would still be no candidates for the
project 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,
Jonathan
Carter, and
Sam Hartman)
have stepped forward. It seems likely that the wider discussion on the
role of the Debian project leader will continue but, in the meantime, the
office will not sit empty.

Update: nominations from Martin
Michlmayr and
Simon
Richter also came in before the deadline, so this year's election will
be a five-way race.
