1.) Haiku is a democratic project, where all decisions are made by the

2.) Developers is defined as all persons having commit access to the main

their commit access within the last 365 days.
3.) Only a developer can start a vote.
4.) Each developer has exactly 1 vote on each topic to be voted on.
5.) In order to reach a decision, at least 51% of the active developers
need to cast their vote. Should this quorum not be reached within 1 month,
no decision is reached. After another month, the topic can be proposed
again and voted on again.
6.) In case of a tie, no decision is reached. The same procedure as in 5.)
applies.
What about abstentions? In the past, some votes for commit access have
been 100% +1s, but no clear record of who did/didn't vote.
Also, 51% sounds a bit low to me. If there's something that
controversial, we probably should step back and discuss it more. Maybe
70% would be a better choice?
