Those pages are infra owned but any member can change them. Since infra owns the page, it would be polite to suggest the alternative text on infrastructure@. Once that is agreed, any member can apply it. With my infra hat on, I have no objection to standardising on the md5sum format for MD5 checksums. A couple of side issues: Firstly, you removed far to much context when adding infra to the thread. I had to go digging through the archives to figure out what the problem was. Secondly, votes are not the way to drive change. Discussion is. The process is not: - see an issue - pick a solution - start a vote for implementing that solution - drive through the change but: - see an issue - discuss options to fix it - agree the way forward (consensus) - make the change Releases and new committers are pretty much the only time I'd expect to see votes in an Apache community.
