The problem is that the voting RFC does not define who can vote. It =
contains
two parts:

  1. Those with SVN [sic] access (but how does karma come into play?)
  2. Those without (how do we provide such rights? to whom?)

If these are to be answered (they should) then I don't think an RFC can =
be=20
edited like that (people already voted on it), so suspect we'd need a =
new=20
RFC to replace it. Fun!

I suspect most people voted "Yes" for that RFC thinking it'd mean less =
noise
on this list while not caring about the details. That's only a guess. =
But=20
trouble is, defining the "Who" is the most difficult part and a big =
reason why
general consensus is preferred.=20
