"Social issues" is a very generic term. Let's for example say that I should not even touch the gangs in some cities because they could get angry.I'm not sure I understand your example, but "resolved" and "forgotten" are just as generic terms as "social tensions". So, dropping the vote and saying "sorry for bringing it up" can just as well considered to be a resolution.
I don't buy it. If so much tension creates around an issue, it means it should be *resolved*, not *forgotten*
Projects at apache are run by consensus, and if the consensus is to remove the author tags and you want to keep them, then you should accept that and move on. Same for the opposite.I looked it up on the website: consensus means that a -1 is a veto. Thus, there is no consensus in this issue.
