Howdy,

I'd like to propose a change to the ASF Maven voting process (in line with
ASF guidelines):
CHANGE the current "vote open for at least 72h" window to "vote open for at
least 30 days, or more".

Reasoning:
According to paperwork (ASF stats) we have more than 90 voters available
(PMCs + committers).
Still, multiple release votes recently were able to pass the "doorstep"
only by "hunting down" voters and pulling their sleeves (apologies and
thanks to them). This makes it clear that ONLY 72h is totally
anti-community and disrespectful. Nobody's sleeve should be pulled. That's
disrespectful for sleeves as well (except if you wear a T-shirt). We must
serve our project community in the best manner, and let our voters be able
to cast well thought votes in a timely manner, hence increasing the
irrationally short window of opportunity for casting votes IS A MUST. And
leave the sleeves alone.

Sorry, but the vote is open for at least 72 hours ONLY.
