You can; technically disclosing the entire vote data is always a
possibility as the final option to confirm/reject a challenge.  "By the
book" would have been for him to mail the list and challenge the vote but
not necessarily say why.  At that point you'd have been required to send
the full vote data to 3 other Leads to do independent counting and posting
of results.  Given the omission here seems pretty simple and hopefully easy
to confirm as resolved once you re-post the counts, I for one don't mind
that he took a shorter approach vs. actually challenging the vote.  Of
course if anyone thinks they have cause to challenge it, they should do so.

http://www.sourcemage.org/VotingPolicy :
* Within 72 hours of the end of the vote the vote counter WILL post
  the results to the Mailing List as a list of all anonymized receipt
  strings and the vote they represent.
* Any voter MAY contest the results within 72 hours of their posting.
* If contested, the vote counter WILL produce the full votes with their
  signatures and receipt strings to three other Lead Developers within 48
  hours of the contest reaching the Mailing List.
* These three Leads WILL provide their own list of receipt strings and
  their respective votes to the Mailing List within 72 hours of receiving
  the votes.
* If the results are still contested, the vote counter WILL provide all
  votes and their signatures and receipt strings to the Mailing List within
  48 hours of the (second) contest.
