You already have a vote, and it's FREE like the rest of the project.
Your vote is cast on -hackers, discussed and decided upon. Once the
decision is made, you can then reach into your pocket to fund that
decision if it's not going to be actioned as soon as you want.
Lots of people have already pointed out that the difference between
the FreeBSDs and the Microsofts of this world is due to guy that
makes the decisions. This doesn't *have* to be the guy holding the
purse strings.
