I'd be thrilled to learn that's not the case, though. Indeed I think voting is a bit useless, since probably mostly unfounded. However, the initial mail was supposed to give potential opposers a chance to speak up. Otherwise someone who reviewed many patches of someone else can just go ahead and grant commit rights silently. Something closed like that is not good. My initial mail is certainly responsible, since I specifically encouraged positive feedback. Next time I will just say I reviewed and applied a lot of patches and think the contributor should get access, if no one objects by then and then I will just go ahead and grant it. :-) Best regards, -Stephan
