Being the RM and making a release has a legal responsibility. I don't think we should be forcing the RM to be doing anything that has potential legal issues. The incident that this VOTE has arisen from was about changing NOTICE and then making a release without the required PMC oversight and that certainly fits into this (slightly scary) category.
Although I don't have a vote here, as an ASF member I have to agree with Justin's assessment here.
Given that a release only requires 3 +1 votes, it shouldn't be a hardship to vote again. Having a vote "carry over" only seems to make sense if, indeed, nothing changed. If something changes, it's reasonable to ask people to have a look before they vote.
