Community Election Results. Announced and ratified! But now what?

I just hit save on a blogpost on ado to officially announce the result of the recently concluded community election.

Congratulations to @mortendk and @pcambra - I'm very much looking forward to working with you both over the coming months.

The announcement post:

We should review our electoral process and our tools.
