Just one bit of feedback, for the rest I either agree or have no opinion:

I don't think 50% + 1 is workable. That would mean for a core mesa
patch, one would have to get like 5+ people to ack it. Seems like a
lot. (And I suspect will lead to debates about how to count "affected"
subsystems.) IMHO 2 is enough, i.e. the maintainer that wants it, and
another maintainer who thinks it's reasonable.
