I agree with the timeout, and that the authors need to maintain their
email addr on record updated. I'm not sure we should discount Peter's
note though, that right now we're setting up a system that by default
will accept change - that is not a bad thing, but shouldn't there be a
minimum agreement that change is needed?
Requireing a minimum percentage of authors that actually agree that the
change is needed seems like a good idea to me. Perhaps the percentage
shouldn't be of all the authors, but of the authors that have been
active for the past year, or whatever. That will avoid changing the
license based on 1 yes vote, and nothing else.
Does that make sense?
