An ASF release needs three binding +1 votes (I see you say two but in your proposal but that would require a policy change in the ASF which I doubt will happen). If there is only a single mentor approaches the IPMC to ask for those votes. As a single active mentor on projects I have both asked the broader IPMC and sought out help from people privately who I trust to do the job well.

Following that statement to a logical conclusion, all podlings need to make a release is for one mentor to +1 it. That doesn’t match what we do today. How do you reconcile the minimum +1 voting requirement for releases we have to day with what you state above? Or are you guys saying that the podling can do everything but release w/ one active mentor, they need two to perform a release? Regards, Alan
