I see a significant flaw here.

If endorsement is bound to Q, than veto shall be bound to Q as well.
I don't see way one should and the other shouldn't.

Most generally, I think that each time we write down numbers of people
which are implicitly assumed to represent a fraction of Debian project
members, those numbers should always be bound to Q.

Cheers.
