The current (majority) voting system is fine -- making decisions based on consensus agreement is not a suitable method for the TU selection process (it would needlessly raise the bar for something that is not a matter of public safety).
Trusting someone with the ability to push binary packages out to every Arch user seems like something that should have a pretty high bar. It's not just trust that they won't do anything malicious, it's trust that they'll look after their key and won't allow a situation where someone else would have access. They need to be able to work with the rest of the team and take responsibility for any mistakes they make.
