With "responsibility" comes the "authority". Or at least so it
should. (c:
The goal is not not to have to vote (with the DPL overruling the
team) but to find consensus. This consensus will be thought both
within the Debian Project and the team.

After extensive inspection of a given problem its solution (or at
least the next step towards it) is often not so controversial any
more. Being many people inspecting a problem will both speed up
the process and enable us to spot details a single individual
might have missed.
The personal touch of the DPL will be there in any case.
