Agreed - a better description of what we are voting on should have been
included.
I'm only for the merge with aligned releases - its the only way Solr can
really stay on Lucene trunk happily. Aligned releases are also my
biggest worry (and part of why I initially leaned against such a merge),
but without it, there goes all of the larger reasons I'm into the merge
now - Solr can be on trunk and we can have better sharing / less
duplication between the projects - which I personally think requires
Solr being on Lucene trunk - or it won't really work at all. And Solr
being on trunk really needs aligned releases
So we should probably spell out what the vote would mean a bit more
formally. I assumed we were essentially voting on the proposal Mike put
out - but that is certainly an assumption.

I also feel like this vote is too broad. E.g. I'm ok with merging
dev-lists and committers, but unhappy about aligning releases. What
points exactly are we voting here on?

See the linked to discussion. (I know its pretty long)
I think Mike covered the broad strokes here:

Though I'm sure its open to tuning. I think the discussion gives the
gist of what the pro mergers want though (though many responders
appeared to be confused as to what most of us think the merge means,
so who knows)

What does merging development mean? I think we probably should be more
specific since that can mean different things to different folks.
We should
be all voting on the same thing.

Many Lucene/Solr committers think that merging development would be a
benefit to both projects.
Separate downloads would remain (among other things), so end users
would not be impacted (except for higher quality products over time).
Since this is a change to Lucene/Solr project development, I'd like to
get a format vote from the committers of both projects.
If there are 3 +1s and more +1s than -1s, we can pass this to the
Lucene PMC to ratify.
