I'd like to add a 3rd option (after the elections). Propose a GR for a 
change in the voting process, that if any candidates nominate themselves 
in the last 12 hours of the nomination process, then the nomination 
window extends by another 48h to allow someone who specifically wants to 
challenge that person to do so. It's perhaps not perfect, but it would 
catch a lot of cases that people are concerned about (perhaps the exact 
definition and timeframes could do with some tweaking, but that's the 
general idea).
