Council policy proposal: modify election eligibility

Inspired by the request[1] that we provide written guidance on time
commitment expectations and some conversations from our meeting in
December, I have submitted a pull request[2] to implement a policy
that anyone running for an elected Fedora Council seat not run for
other elected boards at the same time:

The reasoning is that we have an unspoken (for now) expectation that
being on the Council, particularly as an elected representative, will
not be a trivial commitment. This is an easier check than trying to
determine post-election which body a candidate would rather serve on
(and thus having to deal with alternates, etc).

Please discuss this on the council-discuss mailing list. Per the
Council policy approval policy, this will be submitted for a Council
vote in two weeks. (Also published the Community Blog[3])
