Hi Tamas, I don't share the analyzis (and if I would have to vote it would be rather negative). Concretely I don't think "This makes it clear that ONLY 72h is totally anti-community and disrespectful." is accurate, less than an off day (sunday) can be but 3 days is generally okish.
That said, nobody prevents you to keep a vote running for 1 month, will likely makes it even less interesting, more blocking between projects and ultimately harder to follow for voters from my experience so I tend to think that even if I strongly share the intent, the solution is not that great and does not address the actual issue...in particular cause it always had been allowed by asf to do so, 3 days is a min. Keep in mind maven is a very split ecosystem and you can rarely vote on everything either by knowledge or by time. Ultimately it could makes sense to think to split the community/decrease the number of repos/... (thinking out loud trying to find solution to the issue you describe). So maybe start by a check of the last votes you consider being bad, and ask why people didnt vote and if there is a way to make them more included or if the issue is something else (on a personal side I know I tend to ignore the votes on projects I never use/contribute to for ex).
