there was a staged unbundled voting proposal last week:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2006-August/msg00061.html

and there are three people that voted (2 in favor, one against), then
Thorsten has strongly voiced concerns about the investment into the
old scheme and people stopped voting while the discussions were up
again.

I'm in favor of anything that will speed up the voting process or
bring in any decision, I think the idea of bringing together all
relevant parties is a very good one.

I would like to suggest Jack Neely and Seth Vital. The latter as a
neutral authority on yum and friends to judge on the technical issues
raised and the former as the author of the yum support for kmod which
IMHO is not working and connot be made to work as well as a big
opponent of the new scheme. A working yum is a key point and it would
be good to have a fast return of feedback. If they can be convinced
that the kmod scheme is unsupportable from yum's POV we're already
almost done.
