Hi Chistopher,
first point, we don't have a RM per se. The one pushing the release is
responsible for it, but that can be anyone. But that's not important.
Personally, when I push a release and call for a vote, I wait until we
have enough binding +1 vote to close the vote (and of course I wait for
the 3 days period to end). Then in my vote closing mail, I list the
votes, separating the binding votes and the non-binding votes.
Then if the number of binding votes is >= 3, I call it a release.
But I usually count me as a binding vote explicitely on the closing
mail, like:
"Hi!
I therefore close this vote, completed with 3 bidning +1:
- Colm
- Shawn
- and me.
"
(The latest Apache DS release).
I consider the 'and me' as an explicit vote, even if I haven't sent a
"+1" mail aside.
Anyway, I don't think we have any rule that implies we *must* cast an
explicit vote as a separate mail as a reponse to the calling mail, as
soon as we *know* who voted.
What is important is to know who are the 3 (or more) binding votes, not
that we have one mail par vote, IMHO.
I would never send a closing vote mail without listing the people who
voted the release, that would defeat the purpose of the ASF rule of 3+
binding votes for a release.

Hi all,
as part of my reviews of your board report in preparation of the upcoming board
meeting, I usually also have a look at the processes in the projects. I did
notice here that you seem to be voting as if the VOTE email itself counts as an
implicit +1 vote. However this is not the case. We don't have such a thing as
an implicit vote.
I myself have probably voted on more of my own PRs with -1 than I have on
others.
So could you please do one of the two:
- Explicitly have the RM cast a vote (the option I would prefer to see)
- Add an explicit vote to the original VOTE email (by adding something like: "This
also counts as my +1" to the email)
Thanks,
Chris
