While this is a somewhat unusual RFC, because it's a change to the 
project / infrastructure, not the language itself, it should still 
follow the rules here: https://wiki.php.net/RFC/voting

Question 1 is straight-forward: "The primary vote of an RFC, determining 
overall acceptance of the proposal, may only have two voting options and 
requires a 2/3 majority. ... [Secondary] votes may have more than two 
voting options and may be decided by simple plurality."  So the overall 
RFC requires a two-thirds majority; the others can be simple plurality 
(but you should probably make that explicit on the voting form).

Question 2 is also covered on that page, although the wording is a bit 
odd. The proposer of the RFC is not *disqualified* from voting, but they 
are not automatically *eligible* to vote. So, if you can vote on RFCs in 
general, you can vote on this one. Specifically, as noted at 
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto "Note that RFC karma does not 
automatically give you karma to vote."
