I would be happy to run votes for people, too.  I agree that we shouldn't have
a "list" of acceptable vote takers, and only allow them to run votes.  While
there might be some advantages to having a disinterested party run all votes,
I haven't seen any evidence to support any vote fraud by any vote taker, and a
person who is interested in the group creation would probably put a little
more effort into the project.
