To test the voting beforehand this time, I created a test vote with a fake-GA 
member list. All of the following people should have received a corresponding 
mail. If you are part of this list, but did not receive an email, check your 
spam folder for the sender: ffmpeg.voting at mail.de. Please comment if you didn't 
get the mail.
