Well, one of those is CzechOut who opposed you as well and isn't a member of the community there.

That said I do agree with his basic premise that it would be better to choose a bureaucrat who is neither one of you. ListUsers shows a lot of other active contributors who don't appear to be even aware of the conversation about new admins; perhaps one of them could be a neutral choice. At the least I would like to see some of them joining in the discussion.
