Yes. In fact, I spent time reviewing AOO incubator releases. Don't recall if I actually voted on one; probably not, since there were so many other active IPMC members all over that. > I hereby propose we extend the silent consensus rule to podling > release votes. > -1 > > That's at odds with basic, ASF-wide rules for voting on releases. I know; but it got everyone's attention, didn't it. :) What I'd more seriously like to propose is that we come up with a tool that slurps the general@ archives and pings the list once a week with a reminder about outstanding votes. I'll happily invest my copious free time towards that, if the IPMC agrees such a tool would be useful. -- Brane --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
