this example may be misleading

that's for the acceptance of a new podling. the process for this case
is lazy consensus. no IPMC vote is required at all. if any IPMC
objects then they need to -1 and force a vote on the issue.

release votes *always* require active approval which is why 3 IPMC
votes are required

note that there is a very vocal and quite sizable group of IPMCers who
object to IPMC releases votes being held on podling lists

FWIW i don't understand why given a quorum of three IPMCers in favour
of a release there should be any problem passing a vote on the general
list. the usual issue with releases is a lack of interested IPMCs not
active obstruction...
