If "more interesting" results are required, I suppose the ballots cast in 
the Debian voting could be used for analysis instead.  I think Rob 
Lanphier mentioned this in Election Method message 1176.

Debian now use Condorcet Schwartz Sequential Dropping for electing project 
leaders and for proposals/referenda and have been for a year or two.  
Interesting to note that a couple of past Election Methods contributors 
have been involved with Debian...

Thanks,
Gervase.
