I think this is good, and it dawns on me that releng doesn't need to
duplicate this.  I'm not sure where the thought first came from to have
crit-path voting come from both releng or QA groups, when in reality it
could just be a single group that has members who span different areas.
It would likely make code easier on the update side too, and make
finding somebody to karma up your update easier too.  So I'm going to
suggest we kill the releng side of this and just go forward with net
positive karma from the QA group, and those of us in releng that want to
have our vote count can go through the process of getting into the QA
group.

Sound reasonable?
