I think we now have enough committers to just use the standard Apache
review process, so I propose that we officially adopt the standard way:

  http://incubator.apache.org/learn/voting.html

Background: we were using a slight modification of the Apache voting
procedure in R-T-C mode (prior to joining the Apache incubator) where
two +1 votes were sufficient if there were no votes of -0 or lower plus
a 24 hour waiting period after the second +1 vote to allow a third
person a chance to review and vote.

Rationale:

   Getting two people to review something seems easier than it used to
   be.  And if code scares too many people to be reviewed by two other
   people, it's probably too complicated or the author needs to convince
   everyone that it has been extremely well-tested.

   If it's hard to get people connected with bugs to review code
   modifications, maybe we should set up a keyword for that in Bugzilla.

   Note this only changes things in R-T-C mode.  That is, it only
   significantly affects development of stable and during feature and
   code freezes prior to branching stable.
