Perhaps I wrote it from wrong angle. I feel that the more people do
to help the project, the more vote they should have in matters like
this. In other words I feel that I should have much less vote than
you do -- exactly because so far you did a lot of work and I have not.

It should not stop me from voicing my opinions (and it does not ;)),
but it should not in my power to have a deciding vote.
