Ville is right, only PMC votes count for release, as the PMC is the group delegated from the board to manage a project.
In the case of podling the PPMC's[1] vote is advisory and the Incubator PMC (IPMC) is the legally binding vote, but mentors and the IPMC look to the PPMC's vote as they assume the PPMC knows more about the project and as it's good practice for the PPMC, since they will someday be the PMC for the project. So we need 3 PPMC votes, of which mentor votes count. We have 2 currently (me and Max). Then we'll need 3 from the IPMC (again mentor votes count here). Alan. 1. PPMC stands for Podling PMC, or Practice PMC if you prefer.
