I do hope one day someone (else!) can represent the vast, diverse embedded Linux ecosystem within the TAB, and make a difference there.

What are you missing from the ones currently elected, that you hope other kernel-devs will do better?

I thought the rules are that anyone who has at least three commits with their Signed-off-by, Tested-by etc can vote. Surely that is more than 1012 (although I could be wrong!).

Just looking at the authors there are 3651 unique Author: lines with more than 3 commits, if I look at the output of (there are some duplicates there, for sure):

$ git log --since=2020-01-01 | grep ^Author: | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn > f

What am I missing?

What am I missing?

Probably this:

If you have more than 50 commits that meet this requirement you will
receive a ballot automatically.

If you have between 3 and 49 commits that meet this requirement please
e-mail tab-elections@lists.linuxfoundation.org to request your ballot.
We strongly encourage everyone who meets this criteria to request a
ballot.
