I think I may have spoken a bit too fast on this. Of course I think
users should be included too, though maybe in a second step, I don't
know. Of course, developers (and not only maintainers) should be
included too. The reason I originally said maintainers is that it in
fact means "this project votes for it", also implying all users.

I think just developers/maintainers of many packages at the same time
should be enough. Otherwise, yes users will be the last resort (but it's
harder to get them all)
