I can't speak for others, but I saw the vote request and didn't find it
very serious.

What I mean with that is: in a regular vote, there's typically two (or
sometimes more) opposing sides (e.g. parties, people, opinions) that both
believe they are the best option in the set of available options. Each side
can argue for its own case and voters can make an informed choice after a
fruitful and informative debate. (I know this is somewhat idealized.)

You covered the "yes" side (something about collecting sponsorship money
into SPI), but nobody made any counter-argument against "yes", e.g. for the
"no" side. Does this mean nobody supported "no" to begin with and it was a
strawman in a vote? Whose "side" was the "no" supposed to cover? Who was
the proponent of the "no", or more generally: who was not on the "yes" side
and was the reason for the need-to-vote?

For me, the number of votes is not surprising, since there was nothing to
choose between.
