Voting threshold too high due to misleading github api

[amoffat]

Could use a push to get this over the 14 vote threshold. But then the threshold should be down to 3.54

💯 Was in the middle of writing a similar change. Kudos.

I feel that 14.4 is a bit too high, but 3.54 is way too low and easy. Take this PR as an example: only 15 minutes old and already 11 👍 . So the bar could be easily raised! Clickbait PR titles FTW!

Although on the other hand ... chaos ...

[amoffat]

@hongaar definitely a balancing act

Machine learning?

I would bump the percentage to 5%. That would require 6 votes. Not too low but not too high either

[amoffat]

@rudehn sounds good. let's do it in a new PR after this one lands, just so I don't reset the voting window

[hongaar]

I think the threshold as it's implemented now (minimum difference between + and -) should be set to 1 again, and instead there should be a minimum amount of votes needed (which could also be called a threshold confusingly and again could be based on stargazers, followers, whatever). That's truer to democracy I think.

🙆‍♀️ PR passed with a vote of 23 for and 0 against, with a weighted total of 23.0 and a threshold of 14.7.

See merge-commit 4db36dc for more details.

At the Chaos project, we have very high standards.
