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.
Having 3 maintainers does not mean there isn't an overall project leader. We have
around 30 maintainers in QEMU but only one project leader. The project leader casts the
tie breaking vote.
It's the same model as the kernel and many other communities.
