The CONTRIBUTING document should probably then include a small blurb on that, and also that the 5 votes is (valuable) feedback to the core team and not a guarantee of merging.

Sounds like a plan, yes. Documention and explaining the process is necessary so that users and contributors know and understand what to expect.

The main issue *I think* is exposure, how do we get those thumbs-up votes cast?

I have two thoughts on this:

1. Since the PR author probably wants it merged, there's an incentive for that person to "pitch" their work to the curl community. Like maybe in a mail to this list or whatever other means that feel suitable.

2. We could send an email to this list with some interval that collects the currently pending "needs-votes" pull requests to drive people's attention to them.
