Subject: Re: oVirt comminuty voting
A project lead implies that somehow his/her vote is more important
than anyone else's, which is not how the ASF works.
The idea is to build a community that strives for consensus so that
the need for tie-breaking votes isn't required. If half the community
thinks A and the other B, then there is for sure no consensus.
How often are these and how do they get resolved?
How is a nack by someone resolved if majority are in agreement (ack it)?

We have around 30 maintainers
in QEMU but only one project leader. The project leader casts the
tie
breaking vote.
