Hey Lewis, FYI my reply to you in context on the Gora list: http://s.apache.org/49d In general, I just let the VOTE stay open for *at least* 72 hours. That way folks that are busy/lazy/whatever have a chance to still chime in. The truth is, as the one that called the VOTE, you are the one pushin

The short answer is that you need to grow the number of active PMC members (not sure why users is on a vote; they don't at all). You need three +1 votes to ensure that the release has been fully-reviewed. One or two PMC Members cannot make a release in the name of the ASF. It takes a minimum of thr
