I don't think it'd do even that; our quorum with 1000 developers is 
1.5 * sqrt(1000) or about 48. Having a turn out of under 48 people seems
incredibly unlikely.

Requiring a total turn out of N is roughly the same as requiring a turn out
in favour of N/2, anyway.

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG signed mail preferred.
