Ask HN: Any 'inclusionist' moderator candidates in Stack Overflow elections?

Currently, Stack Overflow is holding moderator elections ( stackoverflow.com/election ). Most, if not all of the candidates are promising to be very strict, to close and flag even more posts the others.

I don't want to start another debate about Stack Overflow policies here, I know there re different opinions on this, but I've noticed that many HN readers are unsatisfied with the status quo. I regularly see comments like "this is what is wrong with SO" when a link to a closed question is posted here.

I was wondering, is there anyone in the list of candidates who is less deletionist and law-and-order, and more inclusionist and lassez-faire, whom I can vote for? I went through the list, they all seem to be making the same promises, but maybe I've missed something.
