I'm positive that edited comments are saved in history, and that reactions
have timestamps attached to them
<https://developer.github.com/v3/reactions/#list-reactions-for-a-commit-comment>.
Same goes for labels (effectively marking when voting starts/ends).

[eventually] it would also be possible for our bot to:
* catch and delete reactions when voting isn't open
* send emails as needed
* do accounting based on who's a PMC / committer / contributor
(binding/non-binding). Hopefully Whimsy has some REST API we can hit to get
list of Github handles of committers / PMCs
