Hi, > I think I'm seeing a contradiction . Ha ha ;-)
Active at the time the vote is called for fixes that, but yes it's still open to abuse if people really want to. I would suggest that if someone suddenly pops up and votes that we haven't seen in a while, we ask them if they are willing to take a slightly more active role, voting +1 in some cases also means I'm willing to help. If someone really wants to abuse their responsibility as a committer or PMC member (and I hope it never comes to that) we can always vote them out. Thanks, Justin
