[openstack-dev] [tc] Who is allowed to vote for TC candidates

So this is an interesting idea. Would we require operators co-author/review
all patches that land? if not (and that actually strikes me as making
uploading patches more difficult unnecessarily), My question is how
Operators can easily get involved with that process.

If Operators want to get recognized for contributing and participate with
TC elections, an easy way to start an engagement with some means of
tracking would be immensely helpful I think.

Does the current system allow this kind of co-authoring/operator review
sort of thing?
