The scope of the project is up to the committers on the project, not the PMC. If ${PMC-member} doesn't like the direction, then they can work to get committer status and change it. Jakarta isn't managed from the top-down. If Costin's proposal is to kick it up to the Apache PMC, then that automatically takes it outside of the scope of general@jakarta. So it is still a straight up/down vote.
