OK, very sorry for that mistake Karan!
It's all good learning, so I'll just post +1's etc. from now on. Was
really going past mails, but also including PMC for the 3 votes required
to pass.
Totally agree on the user votes.
Anyway, more lessons learned which is good. Mirrors are nearly done -
That was the previous mistake, so it gets better every time :-D

My personal preference over the years has been to put vote results in one big
group and not divide people and contribution into categories. Unsurprisingly,
the divisions become manifest destiny and have a way of dividing communities
rather than uniting them.
Apache's rules are simple: there has to be at least 3 PMC votes (aka binding)
for a vote to pass and more positive votes than negative. No single person,
even a PMC member, can veto a release vote. Everything else is up to the
community.
We've typically operated that all votes count equally and any -1 is cause for
pause and we will try to resolve if we can.
In fact I'd probably go further and say in a truly healthy community, the user
votes count the most.
