I believe the necessity of having 3 PMC votes for a release is an Apache-wide requirement, having to do with project oversight, and legal indemnification.
See http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html for the formal voting rules for the ASF. I don't see anywhere in this page where there is any provision for "relaxing" these requirements for any reason. ~Roger Whitcomb -----Original Message----- From: Gilles [mailto:gil...@harfang.homelinux.org] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2016 8:43 AM To: dev@commons.apache.org Subject: Re: [VOTE][RRESULT][RC1] Release Commons Math 3.6.1 On Mon, 21 Mar 2016 10:29:48 -0400, Evan Ward wrote: > On 03/21/2016 09:18 AM, Luc Maisonobe wrote: >> Le 21/03/2016 13:44, Evan Ward a écrit : >>> The vote passes with three votes in favor and none against. >> Well, in fact I am not sure it passes yet ... >> >> As far as I know, there are only 2 PMC members who voted: Oliver and >> myself. > > Oh, I didn't realize there had to be 3 PMC members voting.

It's a leap of faith because I trust that you (and Luc) take extreme care in what you do. This kind of trust is sorely missing in other circumstances. Also, concretely, I think that the requirements could be relaxed for a bug-fix release.
