The short answer is that you need to grow the number of active PMC members (not sure why users is on a vote; they don't at all). You need three +1 votes to ensure that the release has been fully-reviewed. One or two PMC Members cannot make a release in the name of the ASF. It takes a minimum of three.
So... get more actives and/or get the other PMC Members off their butt to inspect the release candidate and sign it with their key. Three signatures, and you're good to go. (and please avoid rubber stamps; get some real review) Cheers, -g On Apr 23, 2012 11:40 AM, "Lewis John Mcgibbney" <lewis.mcgibb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > We recently held a VOTE [0] over on user@ and d...@gora.apache.org and > only two official VOTE's were actually passed.
