Really, Joe? Why did you throw that in? I know what consensus voting is. I also know some PMCs allow vetoes when adding new members. That was the point of my prior email: you are right that committership is done by consensus across the ASF, but that doesn't strictly hold for PMC membership. I think Roy phrased it once as "I am allowed to veto/refuse to work with that person. They are free to copy the codebase and establish a community of people willing to work with that person."
