How voting works (was Re: [vote] release wicket 1.4.11)

[Martijn Dashorst <ma...@gmail.com>]

See http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html

Basically we encourage anybody to test the release and only then cast
their vote. If you vote -1, then provide the reason for that vote.
We'll consider a -1 vote, but keep in mind that we'd rather release
and fix later than not release. Also note that releases can not be
vetoed (even if the voter has a binding vote).

The Wicket PMC (also known as the core team) has binding votes.
Anybody else can vote but theirs doesn't have a legal standing (the
Wicket PMC has been tasked with the maintenance and oversight of the
Wicket project, see our board resolution establishing the Apache
Wicket project [1]). The Wicket PMC will consider non-binding votes,
but has the obligation to act in the best interest of the Wicket
project and the ASF.
