Here's an example: http://s.apache.org/ywC

I don't recall why I do this. I've always done it, since incubation.
Perhaps I read a policy document that suggested it, or perhaps the podling
I looked at at the time did it. Either way, I find it very useful. It
allows cross referencing of where the votes are coming from. It makes the
job of being the RM a tiny bit harder. But hardly anything at all really,
in the grand scheme of things. And the results are super useful.

So yes, it's a suggestion. :)

Oh dear, this is no good. I will start a thread about it. Do you have any
examples?
