["Andrei Savu (Created) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Add a bylaws page
-----------------

                 Key: WHIRR-451
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-451
             Project: Whirr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: documentation
            Reporter: Andrei Savu
             Fix For: 0.8.0


Here is the conversation on the email list that lead to this issue:

Andrei:

Can we move forward and make the release public as soon as we get 3
+1's from PMC?

Patrick:

We've always gone by the 72 hr rule (in whirr and other projects I'm on):
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#glossary-release-manager

However I notice that there's no such mention in the release faq:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release

Although it does talk about it here:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html

I'd suggest we go with the 72 hr rule. Might be a good idea to codify
the rules with explicit bylaws like pig/zk and others have done:
http://zookeeper.apache.org/bylaws.html
(see the bottom of that page)
