You could always just consider using some mail rules to prioritize voting threads so you see them a bit earlier. Personally I just spend the 5 seconds/day it takes to quickly scan the recent subject lines for anything of interest. I think the risk of fake votes is very low, the only votes of relevance are those required to cross the threshold of +3 or whatever it takes for a vote to be rejected. There's always 3 PMC members around to give the green light and any negative votes would involve a fair amount of follow up discussion should they cause the motion to fail to pass. Lets save any additional bureaucracy for when there's an actual need. Regards Scott
