Hi Juan,

I'm sorry you got in the middle of this. I thought that we had clear procedures 
in place earlier, but not so. I just looked at some of the past releases where 
there was confusion.

The term "binding" is very specific in Apache and is misused when talking about 
podling dev votes. It should always refer to PMC and IPMC votes.

So the only binding votes are from your mentors and other IPMC members who 
choose to vote, either on the dev vote thread or the incubator vote thread.

Good to look at how other projects do things. You might also look at 
ShardingSphere vote thread for 2.0.0-RC1 which went sideways.

Excellent point. If the release artifacts have not changed, there is no reason 
for anyone to vote again. So I recommend that the release manager carry over 
the votes to the general vote thread.

It's been a while since I looked at the guidance here and it's not what I 
believe to be best practice now. I'm going to update the page after discussion 
with the incubator folks.

Thanks for pointing out how the incubator can do better.

Best,
Craig
