That the template here:
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html
implies that a vote is required.
Now if someone cobbles together a new component and submits it in JIRA, I
think that might not need a vote. But my interpretation is that stuff that
already exists and especially, has been made public before, probably does.
