Yes, it's mentioned in the press release at http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/2010/msg00003.html

I wonder if they've just been more proactive about culling inactive people who they can't contact over the last year. It's possible that the drop isn't really all over the last year, but is accumulated inactive people over the last few years that they've just gotten around to removing from the list.

What seems more concerning to me than the drop this year, is that the total seems to have been essentially stagnant since 2002, recent drop included or not.

More people voted this year than last; this suggests that the explanation is the removal of long-time inactive people, and the number of involved people might even have gone up a bit.

There has been a WaT (Where are They) run recently which resulted in several resignations by inactive people and deletions of some accounts that weren't active. This might explain the sudden drop; the reality is that these people weren't really active so this isn't as bad as it sounds. The absolute number of voters actually went up since the past two years.

So the most famous DD is no DD anymore? (Hint: The first African in space)

marks - Mark Shuttleworth - at about number 242 on the list of voters :)
There have been resignations at various points over the last year as inactive developers were pinged - but there have also been new maintainers and developers added. Thanks are due to sam93 for his hard work not just as DPL but over many years. Good luck, zack - with 1000 odd developers spread worldwide, it's a logistics challenge to rival an IBM :)

That's a pretty substantial drop in voter turnout, looking at the history

You mean substantial increase? It's the highest no matter how you count in the last 3 elections, second highest by number-of-people in the last 5, and highest by percent-of-people in the last 5...

Sorry, I meant number of DDs. Were a lot of people expired in the past year or something?
