Clarify release policy by removing "binding" from dev vote
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: INCUBATOR-72
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-72
Project: Incubator
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: policy
Reporter: Craig Russell
Assignee: Craig Russell
Priority: Minor

is positive, then the Podling SHALL send a summary of that vote to the Incubator's general
list and formally request the Incubator PMC approve such a release. Three +1 Incubator PMC
votes are required. Below is an example showing how an incubating project managed this process:"
