Fady,

The vote system is standard across the ASF. For legal reasons, I, as
release manager, cannot push a release to the official Apache servers
unless the Project Management Committee has authorized me to do so, As
far as I know, that absolutely requires some positive evidence of
approval. I can't just put up a message saying, 'continued silence
will lead to a release'.
