I don't think Justin won only because of the interview but I do think it had a lot to do.
Personally, I think that dedicating some time to answer these questions (it doesn't take that much anyway, I know because I did it for FAmSCo) shows interest and commitment.
My 2 cents.

You misunderstood me, I never said that they were not important. I meant that you can't and shouldn't say that Justin won only and only because nobody else did their interview. That statement would be wrong on multiple levels.

I agree with Kevin on the interviews. Personally I find them very important
and read them religiously.
Even though I'm fairly active in certain areas of Fedora, there are many candidates
(especially for famsco and council) whom I don't know and haven't interacted
with at all. Doing the review on time is also a sign of commitment and
organizational skills ;)

Hmmm, that's intersting too. In the interview, flory7 talks about
increasing communication and interconnectedness of different
initiatives. Then about increasing new contributor retention. Then to
"represent the perspectives, views, and ambitions of a wide range of
contributors and to help connect the community". Do you disagree with
those goals, or do you think that the focus should be on something else?
I'm intrigued.
