Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think that your
formulation for the now-only option in this GR is too complex.
It mixes many different questions:
- do you want to thank Joerg Jaspert for raising this topic now?
- should the proposal be considered finalized? do you support it?
- is it OK if the DAM just decides to change membership management in
  the project by himself, without waiting for consensus?

What if I don't want to thank Ganneff, because it was clearly bad
timing, but I support the ideas in his proposal, but I don't want DAM to
decide without consensus, because I believe that it's too important?

Basically, the only real 2 positions that matter are:
 (A) I don't care about what was being proposed, I don't want DAM to decide
     such important changes without consensus. (no judgement on whether
     Joerg's proposal is good or not)
 (B) I believe that it's DAM's right to make changes to developer
     status, even without waiting for consensus. (there's no point in
     voting Joerg's proposal: he will go forward anyway)

I'm considering re-proposing Charles' initial proposal to provide a
clear option for (A), and maybe also providing an option for (B).
