I'd just like to second this proposal. The Bokeh core team occasionally has to use a voting process to record formal decisions. Ideally this process is public and transparent, and participation needs to be limited to the core team. We have tried out a few different mechanism in the past
So when I saw that polls were now available for GitHub discussions I had hoped it might be a good solution. Having an easy way to vote in the place where everyone already is, would be great! Unfortunately after creating the poll, there seem to be two big problems:
Taken together, these mean there is no way to ensure that only the votes of the core team are represented, which makes GitHub polls a non-starter for our use. Ideally, polls would have options to allow both of these things:
It would also be nice to have a way to "close" the poll at a specified time (this was also suggested in another issue) Having these features would make it incredibly easy for OSS project maintainers to conduct formal decisions in a transparent way on GitHub. |

Another +1 for this. In the CSS Working Group we ended up using manual polls where people literally edit a comment and write their name in because we needed votes to be visible: w3c/csswg-drafts#9438 |

This would help! (though being able to limit to specific user types would be even better) |

A toggle during Poll creation could make it happen smoothly. |

The Poll feature of GH Discussions looks very good, let's make it much better!
Currently we cannot use it in our Steering Committee workflow for voting because:
So i suggest adding an ability to make persons who voted in Polls visible. Maybe a special toggle at the Poll creation stage.
