Please no. If someone starts a discussion and then later a vote, it is
being done to get input from others and to make a decision. If both these
criteria are met, I can't see anything wrong with how we do things
currently, and IMHO we are in pretty good shape, the project moves forward.
I don't need to see hundreds of mails expressing the same opinion just so
nobody wonders what each single one of us thinks. If someone makes a good
argument in a mail, I am happy and I don't have to repeat it or even write
a mail with a +1 (most of the times).
Best regards,
