not sure if we need floor(2Q) here, but at least floor(Q).

what I'd like to add here is something in the lines of
d) If a resolution will affect an upcoming release which is already frozen,
the resolution needs twice the number of sponsors as defined in a).
This should help to avoid that some random people try to stop a release in the
latest moment if there's not a really good reason to do so. If we want Debian
to be used in business ("enterprise" *gasp*) installations, we should at least
be able to tell people when we're about to release, without having them to
fear a delay for months or years due to a GR.
Cheers,
Bernd
