Question:

whose votes are binding on this vote?  committers?  PMC members? everyone?

Also, many have voted for 2 options and with fractions.

To me the fractional voting makes sense with a binary up-or-down vote.
It's meant to signal strength of support for a motion.  But with multiple
choice, I'm not sure it makes as much sense.

E.g. I could vote +1 for C and -1 for B -- then in effect my vote counts 2
times!  But that doesn't sound right to me.

For multiple choice votes, ranked choice voting probably makes the most
sense.
