Debian constitution A.2:

1. The proposer or a sponsor of a motion or an amendment may call for a
   vote, providing that the minimum discussion period (if any) has
   elapsed.

2. The proposer or any sponsor of a resolution may call for a vote on that
   resolution and all related amendments.

The vote does not automatically commence after the end of the discussion
period.  Someone who is a proposer or sponsor has to explicitly call for
it.
