Another idea would be to let Dwayne of the pootle-team develop something 
for us ... But maybe I'm to fast with this thing and we should discuss 
it any further?

Btw: that's what Dwayne recommended in his last post within the 
pootle-mailinglist:

"Another soft alternative could be threshold + time i.e. 5 votes and N 
days and then it is auto accepted."

This would be a mixture of the current procedure + the automatic 
acceptance. Maybe a good compromise?

Would be happy to read some thoughts from you guys :)

Cheers,
Michael
