we are now in Review-then-Commit mode

[Daniel Quinlan <qu...@pathname.com>]

Okay, SVN trunk is now in Review-then-Commit mode.  Changes need consensus
approval before being committed.  ("Consensus approval" refers to a vote
which has completed with at least three binding +1 votes and no -1 vetos.
Yes, the author of a patch is allowed to vote as long as they're a
committer.)

Also, any changes need to go through a bug with a 3.0.0 milestone.

To learn more about Apache voting, read here:

  http://incubator.apache.org/learn/voting.html

Votes should generally be permitted to run for at least 72 hours to
provide an opportunity for all concerned persons to participate regardless
of their geographic locations.

(Since it does say "generally", it seems reasonable exceptions to the 72
hour rule are allowed if you specify such in your vote, but let's always
allow at least 24 hours or at least 48 hours if the weekend is involved.
Remember, though, that if someone later vetos with a technical
explanation, then the code gets pulled.)

And please don't vote +1 unless you actually did something to check the
patch.  That means some form of testing or code review.  ;-)
