I know Holger's and Bill's proposed options are prone to change and
merge, but I'll say it now and probably reaffirm it later:
I second this option.
While I prefer Harlan's, it has failed to gain sponsors, and I don't
want to risk the complete loss of public votes in Debian. I think the
status quo (all votes are public except for DPL votes) is much better
than the other proposals.
