Where do you see the votes from all individual developers? I thought Debian kept the votes private and just published the total results. And indeed I can't find my vote back on that page. Just a list of people who second a proposal voted about.

See Manoj's email quoted above. Alternatively, go to the page, go down
the bar on the left hand side 'til you find the non-free resolution
and click on it. Part way down the page there is a dummy tally hyperlink - which, unsurprisingly, is now the real tally :)

HTH,

The votes are kept secret only for the DPL elections.

See Debian constitution 4.2.3:
Votes are taken by the Project Secretary. Votes, tallies, and results are not revealed
during the voting period; after the vote the Project Secretary lists all the votes cast.
The voting period is 2 weeks, but may be varied by up to 1 week by the Project
Leader.

And Debian constitution 5.2.5:
The next three weeks are the polling period during which Developers may cast their
votes. Votes in leadership elections are kept secret, even after the election is
finished.

The votes are at <http://master.debian.org/~srivasta/gr_non_free_tally.txt>
as mentionned in the article.
