But I still feel that a greater than 50.00000something percent

And I maintain, if there are not enough authors still active at a time
this potential situation were to come up, It could be near impossible
to make the change. If there were a situation where the change was
needed, and there was this hurtle we couldn't get over (again, due to
inactivity), the community would suffer.

I think the key word here is 'active'.  If the requirement is that some
percent of the ACTIVE authors actually are for a change, wouldn't that
work for both of you?

I think you might be on to something. What's a good definition of ACTIVE?

Some ideas I had:

a) did activity x within the last y time periods (x could be any of authored,
reviewed, participated in a discussion or other)
or
b) responded to the last call for a vote by actually voting
or
c) either a or b counts
