Subject: RFCs: length of voting process.

I propose that we increase the minimum duration for an RFC to be in the
voting phase from one week to something longer. The rationale is quite
simple:
  - One week is often not enough time for me to review my current thoughts
and vote.
  - Sometimes when RFCs go to vote it is the first time I get to read about
it. Most of us don't work on PHP full-time so I can't be the only one in
this situation.
  - During holiday seasons people often request a longer window anyway.

As for picking a new period: I propose 14 days (two weeks) because it
guarantees two weekends.

What voting window would you like to see?

Also, do we need an RFC for proposals like this? The wiki is unclear on how
we deal with changes to the RFC process.
