I'd like to see (N-M) candidates continue with TC by helping support M.
Personally, I plan on participating more in TC office hours regardless of
results. Or even reach out to TC and ask what non-TC members could do to help TC
more.

Once thing I've noticed in the question period before elections was 'What more
could the TC do'. I think it is also valid that we look at it the other way
around as 'What more could the non-TC member do' like Amrith asks above.

Yah, I'd love to see 'pair programming' style for TC and non-TC memeber. Clearly
we have interested parties in becoming TC, and I would think the N-M candidates
would also try running again in 6 months.  So why not help those N-M member
become M, just like we do for non-core / core members on OpenStack projects.
