As a voter and maintainer, I don't really wish to state my opinion on
every single vote I do, I think that is too much. I know it is
preferable as a maintainer, certainly, however instead I think to be
following the proposed style of etiquette, it would be recommended,
but not a hard requirement to state your reasoning for a vote. If
anything I think we should extend the voting addon for dokuwiki to
have such an option for primary voting polls.
