I think that all releases should require a vote to allow for people to
verify and/or express an opinion on the release. The plugins here at
Mojo are part of a project and shouldn't be seen as individual
releases. Delaying a release slightly to ensure quality is a small
price IMO.

That being said, I think that a shorter period of 48 hours (24h is too
short I think) could be good enough for releases only including bug
fixes (I like this definition better than "minor/micro release"). And
that would then include a lazy consensus. I have no opinion against
this being combined with something like 3x +1 (from mojo devs?), which
ever comes first.
