I'm confused. How many positive votes does it take to approve a proposal?
The charter says: "To be accepted, a package proposal must receive a
positive super-majority vote of the subproject committers. [...] The whole
number of positive votes needed for a super majority is calculated by
dividing the total number of active subproject committers by four,
multiplying by three, and rounding to the nearest whole number (>= .5 rounds
up)."
Given the 10 committers listed in the Commons proposal (plus Vincent, I
assume) it seems to me that that implies 8 positive votes are required. By
my count, no proposal has received 8 +1's yet. Does "active subproject
committers" mean something stronger than I'm reading it to be?
Don't get me wrong. I've +1'ed everything so far (in fact every vote I've
seen has been positive). I just think we should nail down precisely what
these voting rules mean before there's a real point of contention on some
proposal.
