I totally agree.  There should be two parties informed: the nominee
and the members.  No more, no less.

Disagree and agree. I think your and Aaron's points are good, and that
your line above is nearly good.

When successfully nominated, I think the 'promotion' of the committer to a
member should be trumpeted on community. There's no need to know about the
voting, and whether someone doesn't get in, but there is a need to know
when someone gets in to help build community.
