Sounds great, but who is 'allowed' to vote? PSC? Committers? Anyone who cares to?
I'd say it's good to encourage everyone to vote and express opinions, but you probably want to only 'count' some subset, so someone couldn't just get a bunch of friends to vote on their issue. Not that this is likely, just an example. With GeoServer it's PSC votes on GSIPs (big proposals), commit rights is 3 other committers. But I think with distributed versioning 'committers' are a bit fuzzier, no?
