Thanks Dawid for start this discussion. I have the same feeling with Xuefu and Jingsong. Besides that, according to the bylaws, for some kinds of votes, only the votes from active PMC members are binding, such as product release. So an email address doesn't help here. Even if a vote is from a Flink committer, it is still non-binding.
