If we wanted to take a more automated approach to the voting process as a whole, you might be able to get the uniformity necessary. There are quite a few steps to calling a vote, and even the vote email itself has a certain "best practice" format. If we generated that vote email somehow, then w

I'm not concerned with full automation. My current vision is that the tool pops up and says: I think I got these votes from these people: OK? Note that i can't make the vote parser itself 100% reliable since people don't use the [X] convention. Also, as we all know, the site is frequently not up

I am also sceptical to being forced into using the asf account unless someone can explain a simple way to make my mail come from there via something IMAP/SMTP like. I have no problem with committing to voting only from,say 2 or 3 different accounts ;) How about somehow querying the ASF mailili
