if I read this correct then any commit requires a vote of the PMC?
that would certainly increase communications, which I am all in favor of.

2.  You're not the first to mention it but I don't know where this idea of a 
veto came from, it doesn't exist.  When required, the PMC as a group can make 
binding decisions but not individuals.

http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html

Specifically:

"Votes on Code Modification

For code-modification votes, +1 votes are in favour of the proposal, but -1 
votes are vetos and kill the proposal dead until all vetoers withdraw their -1 
votes.
Unless a vote has been declared as using lazy consensus, three +1 votes are required 
for a code-modification proposal to pass."

And you are correct, binding votes are the ones of PMC members.

Kind regards,

Jacopo
