Recent events suggest that we should clarify a set of voting rules.

My view is that all proposals submitted to the ML (or DokuWiki as the 
case may be) should be subject so a simple yes/no vote, and pass with a 
majority over 50%. A tie would result in the status quo being preserved. 
No other options would be allowed.

This system means that all proposals that pass have the full support of 
the majority of voters. Proposals with more complex implementation 
details (e.g. the current one re "Reintroduction of past proposals") can 
be formed however the person writing them wants - including by gathering 
the thoughts of members using the ML or other means - but they bear no 
weight until ratified by a simple majority of members.
