Hi, > I thought most votes to approve committers were consensus, not lazy consensus. It varies but more lazy than not I believe. But no issue either way as far as I'm concerned. We've not have a vote that's had less than 3 +1 so it not been an issue, the last couple of votes I called were "Lazy" and there were no comments about that.

It's unclear what we done in the past because no one was sure of the voting system in operation, but it's not been an issue (see above). Serval other projects use lazy consensus for both committers and PMC eg Hive, Pig, Ant, clouldstack and others. Clouldstack bylaws only have 3 types of voting not omit consensus. HTTP project also have a "or by not contributing in any form to the project for over six months." clause as well, but that seems more controversial here. Basically each project is slightly different is the only conclusion you can come to. Thanks, Justin
