But the Apache Website says "one of the fundamental aspects of

Not necessarily... Many communities use "Lazy Consensus", meaning "I
will do this..." announcement (or even "I have done this...") and go
ahead with it UNLESS someone raises a concern. This typically works
well, if the community is reasonably well-aligned with the vision and
path forward.
