<p>All participants in the Accumulo project are encouraged to vote. For
technical decisions, only the votes of active committers are binding.
Non-binding votes are still useful for those with binding votes to understand
the perception of an action across the wider Accumulo community. For PMC
decisions, only the votes of active PMC members are binding.</p>

Commit Then Review policy, committers can make changes to the codebase without
seeking approval beforehand, and the changes are assumed to be approved unless
an objection is raised. Only if an objection is raised must a vote take place
on the code change.</p>

community before making the change. It is acceptable for a committer to seek
approval before making a change if they so desire.</p>
