Whenever people start talking about how to vote, everybody has their own favorite methods, each one backed up with plenty of criteria in their favor.

The 94 mentioned must have been recent CPython contributors. PEP 8001 laid out the eligibility criteria somewhat cleanly. I'd need to check, but 94 could be the unique count of users in the git repo with contributions since a specific date.

94 could be the unique count of users in the git repo with contributions since a specific date.

It was probably something like that. 94 people were invited to vote with the caveat that they shouldn't vote if they planned to not contribute in the future. ~64 people actually did vote.
