Just wanted to point out that your description of majority approval is 
wrong. You need at least 3 +1's and more +1's than -1's. -1's are not 
vetos in this case :)

(since I had to be anal about it and correct you, let me take a look at 
your RC too :P)

The third condition is implied by the second one.

I do not believe the second condition is implied by "Votes on whether
a package is ready to be released use majority approval -- i.e., at
least three PMC members must vote affirmatively for release, and there
must be more positive than negative votes." or "Refers to a vote
(sense 1) which has completed with at least three binding +1 votes and
more +1 votes than -1 votes. ( I.e. , a simple majority with a minimum
quorum of three positive votes.) Note that in votes requiring majority
approval a -1 vote is simply a vote against, not a veto. Compare
Consensus Approval. See also the description of the voting process."

Gah, this is what I was trying to convey.  But I don't think it's still
100% correct.

You need a minimum of 3 +1's
Your net positive votes must be 3 (e.g. if you have a -1 and 5 total votes,
the other 4 votes must be +1's)
You need more +1's than -1's

I'm not sure what is written better.

(trying to be more anal than Josh, but just to make sure everyone agrees)
