I agree on this point. Code contributions are way stickier business compared to any kind of decision that incubator project is entrusted with. Incubator is way more into 'soft skills' if you ask me and hence a simple majority as a decision making tools makes much more sense. > Personally I would like to see the IPMC separating IPMC-ship and > Mentor-ship.

I think at this point I'd rather NOT conflate the 2 issues (although I do agree that both merit a discussion thread). Can we go ahead with a potential proposal for IPMC to adopt a simple majority rule? Personally, I've come to appreciate that the sheer size of IPMC could be an advantage here. Projects with a small size of PMC do have to worry about outliers in their voting - we, on the other hand, have way less chance of something outlandish passing just because there are a couple of dudes who went into the same bar on the same night. > I would also like to suggest that this time we finish the discussion > with a vote. Indeed!
