I realize that there is no mention to the word "vote" in the review policy, just "review comments". See message below for rationale on why these may be good changes.
I strongly dislike the idea of "voting" and a correspondingly purely objective acceptance criterion, since then you have to define whether someone is permitted to vote, which is necessarily exclusive.
In the specific proposal I do not say that voting should be the criteria, but the current review process is asking users to say: YES NO NO but if x and y are provided then YES So it's incongruent to ask this and then completely ignore it. So if the votes are clearly divided, the acceptance needs to be justified, otherwise the process is ignoring what people think (like in the Boost.polygon review!)
