> In practice, with consensus voting, people discuss the person first, and an agreement is reached. It is not just a matter of a particular group of PMC members having the most numbers. You rarely see a -1 vote when voting on a PMC member, but I can recall it has happened on a couple of occasions. That's a valid point. I see why, but that also (and I will keep on repeating it) - it means very likely that I think we should have a separate entry on the "voting" page here about it here https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html This page can be interpreted and suggests something completely different. If you take that page literally as "all the types of voting you can have in the ASF" then the only matching type of voting that fits PMC voting is "procedural" - which is majority voting, not consensus. If it has been discussed in a number of places, and it has not been captured and agreed upon then it's really a bit of "tribal" knowledge and it also your interpretation might be different, depending in which "tribe" you are and which discussions you manage to find about it. Maybe that's a good opportunity to clarify that and capture this type of voting there - explaining WHYs as well (of course as long as we are going to reach some consensus on it). BTW. Does it also apply to "new committer" voting and if no - why it would be different ? (this is yet another angle of "this is so prone to interpretation"). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
