Hi Aaron,

Lazy consensus is the most "proper" way for it and no need for a non-lazy
consensus voting [1]. Lazy consensus is simply an announcement of 'silence
gives assent' [2]. What this means is that one make a proposal and state
that he/she will start implementing it in 72 hours unless someone objects.
72 hours is chosen because it accounts for different timezones and
non-apache commitments.

Here is an example: [3]. On the other hand, there is another example of
being a volunteer but not starting a lazy consensus voting: [4].

All in all, the more "Apache Way" is to start a Discuss thread about
cutting a new release and proposing yourself as a release manager for.

Kind Regards,
Furkan KAMACI
