[postgis-devel] Speaking of openness and formality - finish vote on Bborie Park as a committer

[Chris Hodgson]

I thought this was already passed - as per RFC 1:

"A proposal will be accepted if it receives +2 (including the author) 
and no vetoes (-1). "

Since it's been available for more than the prescribed two business days 
and has received two +1's from Regina and Paul, and no -1's, its a done 
deal. Strk makes it +3 and I'll throw in another +1 to make it +4 if 
that helps add momentum :)

Who has access to make the change in SVN?
