Personal feedback on your last vote thread(s)

[Christofer Dutz <cd...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

while going through the projects latest activity I came across the last vote thread and just wanted to leave as feedback, that I was totally confused and a bit lost in who is voting for what.

In the future please be sure to consistently add RC1, RC2 etc to the subject ... also did I notice that the vote result counted 4 votes, however have only 3 formally been cast. I know that many projects tend to treat the RM sending the initial vote email as an implicit +1, however does a thing like an implicit vote on a release not exist at the ASF. 

So in the future, please be sure that the RM explicitly casts a vote. Either by appending to the iniital vote email something down the line of "this also counts as my +1 vote" or even better to cast an explicit vote.

Chris
