For some teams a person would set the status after one vote, for other teams, two votes, or perhaps votes of different types. The key is that after a human sets the status Tarmac knows how to Do The Right Thing to get the branch landed. Have a look, it might save you some work. -- Māris Fogels -- https://launchpad.net/~mars Launchpad.net -- cross-project collaboration and hosting
