[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - give box

[Joseph Eisenberg]

Ok, so we should consider it approved in this case.

(For context, both Mateusz Konieczny and myself have abstained, along
with 3 others, but had comments expressing concern about using
"give_box" instead of "free_box" or something easier to understand.)

But hypothetically, what if there were even more comments expressing
reservations. This time it was over 25%, but what if it was 40% or
even 50%?

Since the idea of this process is to reach consensus about a tag,
shouldn't critical comments be addressed by those voting "yes"?

One thing that might help would be to recommend a comment along with
positive votes. Right now you can vote to approve without saying
anything about the objections voiced, and the template suggest this is
the usual way to do it.

This seems to put too much weight on the percentage of approved vs
disapproved rather than the actual reasons for the votes.
