One mentor comment: from an ASF perspective, official project votes must be
on the mailing list, not via gerrit. A code review "vote" is fine via
gerrit, but since this is more of an official project policy change, it
should be done via email.

Of course, commenting on and revising the bylaws using gerrit as a forum
for easy discussion/review should be fine, so long as the end item is voted
on.

I'd also suggest that the comment/review/discussion be left open a couple
days, and only once it appears people are done making comments, call the
official VOTE. Otherwise, people are voting on a (potentially) changing
artifact, which strikes me as odd.
