I agree with Travis' concerns.

I'd hint for something like "requires consensus of the committers.
In order to ensure that all committers have a voice in the discussion,
Release Criteria votes will run no less than 10 days."

It should go without saying that discussion happens on dev@.

So no, a committer might be overruled if the vast majority of the PMC
votes in favor of the change.  But their voice should be heard and
respected, and their concerns addressed if possible.

If you are in Fiji for 2 weeks, of course, enjoy yourself and trust your
fellow committers to express your concerns LOL
