There is a discussion in the Incubator list [1] that proposes a more structured format for the line that people write in their email message when they vote.
The problem is that some people use multiple names, email accounts, github accounts, and that tallying votes requires some effort. The proposed solution is that people would use a structured line when they vote, consisting of their vote (-1, 0, +1), their ASF id if they have one, and their role (committer, PMC member, community member). For example, my vote would be +1 jhyde (PMC) In my opinion, Calcite should adopt this. The email starting a vote would recommend that people use that format. Votes would still be counted if people use a different format. What do you think? Julian [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/xkfrnt8f733hhokmh0lvyhsn50x4qfw0
