Why are you saying 5 ? Your proposal requires 30.
Recent votes have shown that some options tended to have more
seconds than the others but we never reached 30. We had 17 for
"Exclude source requirements for firmware" and 21 for
"Invite the DAM to further discuss until vote or consensus, leading to a
new proposal.".
Note that with those new requirements some interesting
amendments/alternate choices would not have made it in several of the votes
(although different rules would have probably lead more people to second).
Anyway 2Q is too much in my opinion. Q would be much more reasonable.
It would be also be good to add a sentence inviting the seconders to
explain why they second the proposal. At least it would make the many
formal mails to second proposals somewhat interesting to read
(they could even be linked from the vote web page so that voters who have
not taken part in the discussion can refer to the reasoning of those who
have brought the option to the vote).

List-reply ended on both lists, I had to hand-edit the result.
