The EDP is unambiguous with regard to how elections should run.
Ideally, the inactive committers should me marked as such and the
election re-run. Alternatively, if one of those two committers
should be convinced to vote and the election re-run. Frankly, if the
committers are out of contact or are unwilling to vote, then maybe
it is time to consider retiring them.
Or, the PMC can use the notwithstanding clause:
In exceptional situations—such as projects with zero
active committers, disruptive committers, or no effective
project leads—the project leadership chain has the authority to
make changes (add, remove) to the set of committers and/or
project leads of that project, and otherwise act on behalf of
the project lead.
FWIW, I can't recall ever using this in this sort of situation. But
I don't mind some trailblazing. We'll have to make sure that we we
do is well documented.
Note that I have started the process of revising the EDP. We have an
opportunity to make this better.

Re: [rt-pmc]
[gemini-dev] Committer vote for Florian Waibel has concluded
unsuccessfully
Sent by:
rt-pmc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
I've been following the documentation starting at
[1]
with "The election process is defined in each top-level
project's
charter."
The RT charter itself [2] refers to the development
process
document which says:
(...) If there are at least three (3) positive
votes and
no negative votes within the voting period, the contributor is
recommended
to the project's PMC for commit privileges. If there are three
(3) or fewer
committers on the project, a unanimous positive vote of all
committers
is substituted.
I have to admit I didn't know about the lower limit
of
three positive votes.
I have my doubts that re-running the election after
removing
inactive committers will change anything with the election
itself, to me
it sounds like unnecessary overhead. If no one objects, I'd ask
EMO if
they can consider appointing both as committers. Any other ideas
or suggestions?
Thanks,
Markus

Is that an issue in the voting system or is there
actually
a minimum +1 required?
I see two possibilities:
(1) Glyn marks the committers as inactive and voting is
repeated.
(2) We (the RT PMC) ask EMO to appoint the committers.
