By the rules of Apache, three PMC binding votes are needed to make a release. In addition, it's a gauge of general interest in the project. > Is this something required by the project governance? https://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html (see "votes on package releases", in particular) > What is the meaning of a vote?

If you find a bug in the release artifacts (not in the latest trunk) before the release is made, the release is likely to be pulled. > What is the typical expected delay for reply?

A vote must run for at least 72 hours. Because you are not on the PMC, your vote falls into the "interest gauging" category, is not binding and is considered "best effort". > This is probably all common questions with well documented answers.
