According to the wiki, 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features:
"Once the feature has been available for review and discussion for a 
reasonable period of time (at least 2 weeks, longer if there is heated 
discussion), then open it for voting and nominate a closing date.

Before putting it to the vote, a proposed feature should be fully formalised 
to the standard required on Map Features

If, at the end of the voting period, there are a majority of votes in favour 
then promote it to the Map Features page. "
