Depending on the precise schedule of special elections, some people might end up with very short terms, if they are elected to fill the remainder of the term of someone who didn't have much time left. Should we automatically extend (by two years) terms that would be less than X months? If so, for which value of X?

Note: This is not about how long ahead of a regular election we should have a special election. That's already defined as 3 months (roughly the time it takes to organize an election).

My suggestion here would be the same as @martinthomson in https://github.com/w3c/process/pull/888/files#r2053267191: Yes, and 3 months.
