  Please try to make it a good one though!
  
+ A vote can only pass if three committers give a +1 vote. The PMC is not required to vote, although it is preferable. This is a safety feature to make sure that a release is not made when all the committers are away at a conference, or something similar. A vote from a committer is called a binding vote. All other votes are non-binding, but that does not mean they are unimportant. If anyone, including a non-committer, gives a -1 vote, then that should be addressed before proceeding. The aim of the vote is to build community consensus around a release. And anyone who votes, is by definition, a member of the community. Please note, however, that all votes should come with a valid rationale.
