We call it meritocracy :)

Everyone can vote or start a vote, when he or she finds it appropiate to start a vote.
Take this thread.. If you think this should be a vote, just start a new thread like
[VOTE] Keep postgresql jdbc driver in ofbiz
wait 72 hours and count the votes and post a [RESULT][VOTE] and act upon it.
For releases and getting new committers onboard, you need to have a vote, with at least 3 binding
votes (which normally means that people are on the PMC of the project)
We normally don't ignore the non binding votes, since they are a good indicator on how big the
support is and not only people with binding votes have something interesting to say :).

Yes. In some cases it helps that you have a binding vote though :)
Here are some examples of votes (I have chosen jakarta-commons, since a lot of voting happens there
in all kind of ways)
