1. For compiling the board report as the chair (and for future chairs), I can see how [VOTE][RESULT] is useful if they haven't been keeping up with vote results. One could search for [VOTE] and read the thread, but then there could be closed threads because something failed. 2. As a daily user of @dev, I can see how the result being in the [VOTE] thread is more useful
#1 is no biggie, the Apache chair can spend a day or less gathering the results through alternate methods, it's not that hard. My suggestion is to make it easier for committers instead, and make the result only show in the [VOTE] thread.
