Sorry for being late to the party, but I just wanted to point out that in case you aren’t aware votes are not required for these kinds of things - you can simply start a discussion and see if anyone objects. If someone wants to discuss it it can also get messy as you will mix a bunch of discussion emails in your vote thread. That said, there is nothing wrong with asking for a vote if you want formal permission.
Also - does FreeMarker follow Commit-Then-Review (CTR) or Review-Then-Commit (RTC)? I am guessing CTR (which is my personal preference) but a lot of the Hadoop-based projects have been using RTC with reviewboard.
