Looks mostly good to me. One thing I think that should be clarified is
the meaning of "linear combination" - I assume you meant a non-trivial
(exclude all zeros) linear combination over the nonnegative integers?
Thanks. You are right, this was imprecise. I meant linear combination with
total coefficients one; barycenter in other words. For example: 10 commits
are ok, 20 devel mails are ok, then 5 commits and 10 devel mails are ok too.
Of course, the value I have put are rather arbitrary. Please people feel
free to propose other values.

Some thoughts on voting commitee:
It looks like maintainer list is ignored. Like if there is maintainer of
XYZ feature. and decision of XYZ features are taken by committee then
ignoring him just because he don't have lots of commit would be bad
idea. Maintainer has taken responsibility so until he is not removed
from maintainer list from that part and his place is not filled by
someone else.
There could be conflicts like if XYZ part is not developed well or used
by many people take snow or ffserver for example people want to remove
it completely. Since majority of comitee don't like that feature then
that does not mean that they are authorized to remove that part. If
there is no maintainer for some part they can remove it to decrease work
load but if there is maintainer they must not over rule him.
There should be restriction on voting committee to remove some part of
FFMpeg, or I fear that bad voting committee can tear this project apart.
There may be one more scenario like there is committee of 20 people
where 11 voted on X way and 9 voted on Y way. and at end of day 9 voter
forked ffmpeg and made there own project.
So I would put one more restriction here that its not about what
majority wants X way or Y way there should be what reasons are given to
follow X way or Y way. and confirmation that everyone understand pros
and cons of particular way. No valid reason given against anyones wills
other then majority voter should be avoided at any cost or we may loose
developer.
