Ok, I guess that answers my question. Sorry I was too lazy to look that up
on my own. So my understanding is that only committers may vote, as per:

"A Committer has write access to the source code repository and gains voting
rights allowing them to affect the future of the subproject."

Putting this with the following:

"At times, Committers may go inactive for a variety of reasons. A Committer
that has been inactive for 6 months or more may lose their status as a
Committer. Getting access back is as simple as re-requesting it on the
project's Developer mailing list"

I assume that being inactive means that I have lost my status as a committer
and hence may not vote.

So, hopefully one of these days (I have no idea when) I will again be able
to contribute to FOP and re-attain committer status. At the moment, I am not
actively working with FOP at work, but we are still using it (actually a
version from a long while back - around the last time I contributed
anything). The good thing is that I have not been called in to resolve any
problems with FOP, the bad thing is that this is probably largely because of
the limited use case. I hope in the future to expand this, which will likely
entail some contributions to FOP. Or maybe by then my efforts will not be
necessary - this would also be cool, although a bit disappointing in that I
was not a part of it...
