The default at Apache is that committers and PMC members are added by consensus. In nearly every project code changes are also by consensus while releases require 3 +1 votes from PMC members and more +1 votes than -1 votes. Projects that diverge from these should perhaps document that somewhere, but projects that conform to these probably don't need to. I see no discrepancy between the documents you cite. The first says that committer votes are by consensus, the second says that "procedural" votes are by majority, but doesn't define procedural and there's no implication that it includes committer votes.
