What would "publish the candidacy to openstack-dev" look like? Would
that be an email from you publishging, for example, my candidacy and
position statement for the TC election?

Having you send that email seems a bit odd. How about if we ask
candidates to email the list, and then submit their name and a link
to that email post to the election repository? That keeps the
majority of the discussion on the ML, while still ensuring that
you've seen everyone's candidacy.
