That link says,

Articles are selected for promotion on the basis of substantive new content, clear argument, good writing, popularity, and importance. Promoted articles appear on the Less Wrong home page. Non-promoted articles are still available in the other views, such as New or Popular.

But it doesn't say who does the selection. I thought it was only Eliezer. Can anyone else promote an article? Can anyone un-promote an article? Is there a vote? A sum of up-down votes from editors? What?

I second this question. I would like to know the list of people who promote. I also would love to see who promotes what. Is this already possible?

These editors (currently me, Alicorn and Louie) don't do the promoting. I assume only Eliezer does that. We just fix the technical problems with markup in the text of the posts or tags on them etc.

I think only Eliezer currently does promoting, but I think Robin Hanson and wmoore also have the ability to.
