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. -Bertrand
