I think two is an absolute minimum. It shouldn't be too high because as
we've noted recently that even the successful proposals didn't receive
more than about 5. I think we should go for three. If people know that
three seconders are needed, then they'll be more inclined to second.
Another important question: what about those who object to the proposal?
Should they be formally recorded? And what happens with that? Should we
require X number more seconders than objectors? (X should be the number
above..and again, if it's 5-4 that something should pass as a change in
policy, is that enough?)

There's nothing wrong with this, provided it doesn't happen 2 weeks later.
3 months later should be fine (maybe sooner, maybe later; but you
understand the idea)
