To wrap up my thoughts, web voting could be useful but the most important of PEAR package acceptance isn't just the the +1 votes, but the review and suggestions that others give you about hte package. If PEAR moves to web voting we need to make sure that packages still get the same level of review and not just a quick look over by people.

My plan is to use to voting system just for giving votes. The dicussion about the package name etc. will stay here on the mailing list: Step 1) $USER fills out the proposal form on pear.php.net Step 2) $SYSTEM sends a mail to pear-dev describing $USER's proposal Step 3) $DEVELOPERS start to discuss about the package by responding to

        the mail. (Step 3 may repeat n times.)

Step 5) $DEVELOPERS give their votes on pear.php.net Step 6) After a definied period of time $SYSTEM will evaluate the

        voting.

Step 7a) It the proposal has been accepted, $SYSTEM will open a website

         account for $USER and will register the new package.

Step 7b) If the proposal has been rejected, $SYSTEM will only send a

         mail to $USER telling him that he has lost.
