Secret voting is done in elections, but voting in parliaments is not secret. The politicians in a parliament should vote publicly, so they can be held accountable for their voting behavior. The people want to check if the politicians they elected actually vote for the things they promised in parliament. (In the case of Debian: I have no idea if this situation is more like an election or voting in parliament, and I have no opinion on the topic.)
