That's my understanding of the "Vetos" section at
http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html

That page says that a "qualified voter" can -1 a  commit, technically
I suppose this means a PMC member, but I'd say -1s coming from
contributors should be processed in the same way.

Anyway, those -1s should be very rare, if people see them often that
means IMO something's wrong with the project - or with its code
structure, as modularization often helps by reducing the surface on
which people need to agree. Moving to RTC for the critical parts of a
project, while staying on CTR on other parts, can also help.
