Can you tell us in advance who would (initially) be on this list of
nay-sayers to be ignored/punished?

Can the candidates demonstrate an ability to distinguish between
nay-sayers who have nothing more to contribute to Debian than
poisonous tabloid-style rhetoric and negativity; and contributors who
go quietly about their work when things are going well but aren't
afraid to question dumb ideas?

Is it better to say nothing and work to subvert a bad idea; or to make
overt positive alternative suggestions?

How should we avoid a chilling effect from fear of being seen to
criticise, which could cause Debian to develop to do what is socially
popular, rather than technically best?
