I agree with sebb. I prefer an organization where everyone gets one vote. This is obviously not the only way an organization can run, but I like neither having a diminished or overwhelming power with my vote. The best part of having only +1 is that you can't use your merit to strong-arm decisions over anyone -- you have to build consensus using reason. If you can't convince your team, the idea isn't worth doing no matter how much more voting power you wish you had. I find this especially equitable since there can be a split of people who do the work (committers) and vote (PMC). There are some who commit only and can't vote, others do commit and vote, and others who just vote. Being on a PMC myself, I am happy my vote is equal to every one else on the committee.
