Yes, we (mentors of Zipkin) were informed about the vote in private mail. I think it should be fine to ping mentor privately about the release vote, as we cannot always monitor the dev mailing list. Otherwise, it will some time for us to response the release vote. Willem Jiang Twitter:

Parallel would solve our problem of delayed bookkeeping as well. good idea. It is not so much about about the initial 72 hours, rather the pause then another 72hrs that someone having to remember. Podlings have a stateful experience during a release.. they have to know which are in what stage.

Maybe the PPMC and IPMC vote could run in parallel -- a key reason why we in Apache NetBeans are looking forward to graduation is that we'll not need to go through the loop of (1) PPMC approves, (2) IPMC rejects, (3) PPMC needs to put together a new release and vote on it again, (4) IPMC rejects

TL;DR; I suppose is that in the case of 3 mentor/IPMC already +1 a release we can switch to a "review after commit" style notification so that folks eager to double check can, but not to burden the project or IPMC with a secondary step. This not only reduces bookkeeping but encourages each

Per my reading http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval it’s not OK to stop when you reach 3 +1 votes. Because it’s not 3 +1s absolute, it’s 3 more +1s than -1s. So, you have to have a fixed, reasonable

Just like so many things, this is how it used to be. In fact, back in the day the only time the IPMC was asked to vote was when there were not enough mentor votes. If you look at all the podlinga I've mentored I have only ever asked for an IPMC vote on two occasions (that I recall). One
