Ah, I thought it was 20 votes but with a bit of wiki searching that was
apparently an old minimum. I usually quote the votes because "Votes are an
indicator of package interest or usage." (Source:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Community#Minimum_Vote_Requirement). I
guess the key word in that sentence is indicator!

Do any pages of definitive rules/guidelines  exist?

Thanks,
