Anyone can vote. The difference between binding and non-binding is the
difference between a committer and a non-committer. The Apache way of
+1/+0/-1 is the simple way of saying: "I'm for it"/"Doesn't matter to
me"/"I'm against it". (those are the simple definitions). A -1
non-binding is a flag for developers, but not something that will defeat
a vote while a -1 binding is.
