Let's say we strike that bullet point from the proposal. It seems like we're
making good progress, because that moves us closer to *both* you and Dave
Fisher. The remaining question is whether we can arrive at an agreement in
terms of how many IPMC votes it takes to get a release approved.
Ant, you proposed a minimum of one IPMC vote for each release:

How about simply changing the rules for Incubator releases so that they
don't require at least three binding votes, but instead make it at least
three votes only one of which must be binding. That would mean there would
still be the element of oversight that a mentor vote gives but avoids all
the problems with not having three mentors.
Dave responded with this critique:

I don't think this is prudent, having only one binding vote is too low a
check. We at the ASF have a responsibility to the public. I want to be
certain that no one steam rolls the process. Just the fact that there are
edge cases means we need to be careful.
This formulation was conceived to address both of your concerns:
* PPMC votes are binding for every release except the first.
* One IPMC vote is required for each release after the first.
Ant, can you accept the elevated requirement for the first vote? If we only
have to muster that many IPMC members once per podling, I think it's much more
doable.
Dave, does a three-IPMC-vote threshold for the first incubating release
suffice to guard against the most severe of the problematic scenarios you're
envisioning?
