[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Add OpenLocationCode to OSM website (#1807)

[Tom Hughes]

As I think I've already said whether or not we do something is not really a question of whether you can scare up enough sock puppets to vote "yes" on a feature.

Aside from the fact that designing any sort of software that way is a recipe for a disaster as everybody fights to get their favourite oddball feature in with no way that anybody can say "no" if they can win a vote how exactly do you propose to determine who is eligible to vote? and then to notify them that a vote is in progress?

A vote only makes sense if there is a defined electorate and a way of notifying them when a vote is in progress - otherwise it becomes a self selecting poll where the person who can persuade enough people to come and vote will win.

Normally in a software project that "electorate" is the set of maintainers/committers or similar. In this case that is quite a small set - basically @gravitystorm and me currently.
