But this isn't an argument I've ever won, so I let it go. There are more important battles to be won.
Jaffa i think both points are view are right, but neither make much difference in the grand scheme.

Allowing the user to upload the package in my view automatically should give their vote. But also, they shouldn't upload the package if they were not sure themseleves that it filled the requirements. So i suppose by blocking their vote, it does mean that this opinion of 'Fit for purpose' is ignored in away.

Anyway, as it is a small thing i'd say either way is a good way, and it can be left up to the maintainer if they wish to vote or not as long as maintainers are uploading im happy!
