Last time I almost had to extend the 7 days voting window because we didn't 
have enough votes.

This time we have 2 so I figured 5 should be enough so we end up releasing in 
July :-)

"At least 72hours" sounds useful in retrospect as it's open-ended. But otoh I 
assumed the voting window has to be predictable because people might schedule 
to verify the release later on... only to find out the voting closed already!
