A vote is not a good tool to build consensus (quite the contrary), but
it could be an effective decision-making tool.

Before getting in to that procedural question, though, do you (or
anyone) know what ftpmasters think of the ML-Policy? Because if, say,
they agree with it, it would be enough for them to adopt/endorse that
policy to turn it into the an official Debian policy on this matter.

(In case of doubt: mine is a real question, I have no idea what
fptmasters think about this matter. It just seems important to me to
find that out, before considering a GR that overlaps with ftpmasters'
delegated responsibilities.)

Cheers
