EXACTLY! A minimum of three PMC +1 votes. Because that's what we
need, and
those are the ones that are binding. Without that minimum quorum
of three
PMC +1 votes, you don't have enough binding votes.
Every vote that counts toward the majority is a binding vote.
If the PPMC members out-vote the PMC members on any issue, the
majority still carries. If a committer can veto a commit, then
they have a binding vote. Are you using the term differently?
I really don't understand how you can expect a PPMC to make a
decision on anything if they can't vote and be counted. I thought
that is why we created PPMCs. I wanted to put everyone on the
Incubator PMC and thus solve both problems, but others were
satisfied by the delegation, based IIRC on the fact that the
board resolution that created the Incubator is different from
any of the TLPs. *shrug*
Maybe we should just change the bylaws?
