No, committers *don't* have binding votes: Binding Votes
Who is permitted to vote is, to some extent, a community-specific thing. However, the basic rule is that only PMC members have binding votes, and all others are either discouraged from voting (to keep the noise down) or else have their votes considered of an indicative or advisory nature only. That's the general rule. In actual fact, things tend to be a little looser, and procedural votes from developers and committers are sometimes considered binding if the voter has acquired enough merit and respect in the community. Only votes by PMC members are considered binding on code-modification issues, however. Martijn On 3/25/08, Paul Fremantle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Guillaume > > That is a little misleading.
