[Process] Decision management

Hi, I'd like to be sure I'm doing the right thing, hence this email. Are we following any rule for deciding whether or not a proposal should be applied or not? For example, I've just sent an email about modifying the XWiki constructor interface. Ludovic has answered but not other committers. Should I go ahead or do I need to wait for others to chime in? Are we following the ASF rules defined here: http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#management? However this is not enough. Here's an additional rule followed on most Apache projects: " The development process is intentionally lightweight; like other Apache projects, the committers decide which changes may be committed to the repository. Three +1 ('yes' votes) with no -1 ('no' votes or vetoes) are needed to approve a code change. For efficiency, some code changes from some contributors (e.g. feature additions, bug fixes) may be approved in advance, in which case they may be committed first and changed as needed, with conflicts resolved by majority vote of the committers. " Is this too heavyweight? Is it ok? What do you want? Should I wait before committing the xwiki constructor change I have proposed? The reason I'm asking this is because I am a new member of the community and I'm sure other newcomers may also have some doubt when they want to change existing code.
