The Apache guideline for voting is that votes should run for at least 72 hours [1] but nothing prevents a vote from going longer. It also doesn't specify anything about votes on weekends or not but just generally 72 hours.
Because there isn't a maximum time for votes, (I've seen votes go weeks on some projects), I think it would be a good idea if we adopted a policy where we don't count weekend days or major holidays etc to allow for everyone 3 business days to be able to have a chance to review a release and vote. This doesn't have to be something super strict, we don't need to go crazy counting holidays as they can vary by country and region, but major holidays like New Years make sense. Urgent releases can also always go out quicker if needed, I just think it would be a nice goal for most releases though. Thoughts?
