Hi!

Unfortunately, this mail voting currently misses a very important feature.

Currently it's not unusual to comment what you don't like if you vote 
against a proposal, e.g.: "I like the proposal but the tagname itself 
doesn't make any sense". To my experience this is the best way to 
further improve a proposal - as the proposer get's a good idea where to 
improve the proposal.

Simply getting: "12 times +1, 2 times 0 and 5 times -1" won't really 
help a lot in improving a proposal then ...


Of course, people could then go to the proposal page and leave a comment 
why they voted against, but I fear few won't actually do it.

Any ideas how we can deal with this?
