Well, anyone can vote. It's just that full committers or people with commit
access to that area of the tree have their votes 'count' towards quorum.

I think it's valuable for anyone (even a partial committer to a different
area) to record their votes on backports if they have something to say about
it. It should, however, be made clear in the STATUS file that their vote is
'non-binding'. For example a notation like:

+1: kfogel, pmayweg, full committers go here...
+1 (non-binding): markphip

My $.02. Not a big deal though. -- justin
