Hi Craig,
Very appreciated your clarification which helps us do better in future.

I thought that we had clear procedures in place earlier, but not so. I just looked at some of the past releases where there was confusion.

When the vote is forwarded to incubator general, the dev@ votes should also be forwarded. So in the incubator vote, the binding and non-binding votes from the dev@ vote should have been included. It means all the votes from dev@ should be included as the final vote result for general@, right? If so, votes from mentors or IPMCs in dev@ are saw as binding votes when voting in incubator, on the other hand, votes from PPMCs in dev@ will be unbinding votes in general@? The term "binding" is very specific in Apache and is misused when talking about podling dev votes. It should always refer to PMC and IPMC votes. So the only binding votes are from your mentors and other IPMC members who choose to vote, either on the dev vote thread or the incubator vote thread. I looked at the release vote threads[1] of Release Apache Pinot (incubating) 0.2.0 RC0. The vote tallying way[2] is that they treat the votes in dev@ and general@ separately. Good to look at how other projects do things. You might also look at ShardingSphere vote thread for 2.0.0-RC1 which went sideways. I have no idea whether mentors need to carry on their votes from dev@ to general@ or just let release manage clarify that the final vote results in general@ also include the part of dev@? Excellent point. If the release artifacts have not changed, there is no reason for anyone to vote again. So I recommend that the release manager carry over the votes to the general vote thread. I referred to `Apache podling release`[3] and followed it carefully, for this is my first time to be release manage. Sorry if the question was a bit pedantic. It's been a while since I looked at the guidance here and it's not what I believe to be best practice now. I'm going to update the page after discussion with the incubator folks. Thanks for pointing out how the incubator can do better.

When the release manager tallies the dev@ vote, everyone who votes should be named. When the vote is forwarded to incubator general, the dev@ votes should also be forwarded. So in the incubator vote, the binding and non-binding votes from the dev@ vote should have been included. And in this announcement, my vote from the dev@ list should have been included in the result.
