OTOH, on a complex project, I know about the level of involvement some
people have on some topics. I don't know about many others. And yes, I
do let other voters' votes influence mine.
Probably we should rather make explicit that if you don't feel
confident about rating somebody, you should refrain from voting (for
or against). Then, a vote of 0 would mean "nobody knows this person",
a negative vote would mean "he is mostly a liability", and we would
just sponsor the positive levels.
