the mmbase guidelines that may /or may not be found on http://web.omroep.nl/mmbase/mmc/mmbaseguidelines.html
say this Becoming a committer In order for a Developer to become a Committer, another Committer can nominate that Developer or the Developer can ask for it. Once a Developer is nominated, the commiters vote for allowing the committer access. This is a unanimous non-negative call (see voting).If the calls succeeds, the Developer is converted into a Committer and given write access to the source code repository. and this Unanimous non-negative call All votes need be positive (YEA) or abstained. The call always has a margin of 3 positive votes. The call fails is someone casts a negative vote or a veto, or if the margin is not made. If those are the MMBase guidelines then this mean that 1 negative vote wil make the hole vote fail just so you know
