It's like "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"; the points don't matter. :)

    | +1, I endorse

    | -1, I veto; this proposal will get in over my dead body

Actually, it's +1, +0, -0, -1, with the sign of the 0 "vote" giving
the direction of your lean on the non-endorsement.

BTW, does anybody have a reference to where this voting system
originated or where it's been spelled out elegantly?  I want to write
a short informatinal PEP on it for posterity.  I vaguely remember it
started in the Apache world and Greg Stein transported it here.
