	Leave it be. Consider: You don't want to give one project's
admins veto-power over who can run for the board, or be able to put
a black mark on a candidate's presentation.

	This shouldn't be read as endorsing his candidacy. But there's
no sensible reason to raise a fuss over it. The Wikimedia Foundation
has at times brought significant embarrassment upon itself due to
various people picking spite-fights with critics. There's no point to
it here.
