Agree with the proposal in general. However I think this is about code modification, so we should rather follow Votes on code modifications rather than releases:
https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#votes-on-code-modification That means: - we sum all votes and positive means "passed" - qualified -1 is a veto but it needs strong explanation and good reason otherwise veto is invalid - there are fractional votes - -0.5 and -.0.9 as well as +0.9 with implications described above. - minimum 3 '+1' votes are required- without it we should continue to discuss and vote (unless we declare lazy-consensus).
