Paul, let's take this discussion to

Clarifying question about how PEP 609 is to be interpreted. The text is ambiguous in that it says "If at least two thirds of *voters* vote +1, then the vote succeeds." If I am reading you right, you seem to be interpreting *voters* to mean "anyone who has a right to vote", but I had interpreted it as "anyone who casts a vote".
If you interpret *voters* to mean "anyone who can vote", that means that failure to vote within the 7 day period is equivalent to voting -1, which seems like it's putting a thumb on the scales against any proposal passing (particularly since -1 votes count double!).
I would expect that we would wait 7 days and then tally up the votes, and if 2/3rds of votes cast are +1, the proposal passes. If we achieve 26 +1 votes or 13 -1 votes in a period shorter than 7 days, we can end the vote early since further voting cannot affect the outcome.

As a result of the discussion at https://discuss.python.org/t/pypa-as-a-psf-fiscal-sponsoree/4939/, I'm calling for a vote on the following proposal:
I propose that the Python Packaging Authority become a Fiscal Sponsoree of the Python Software Foundation.
Per PEP 609, a vote is triggered when a PyPA committer (not the proposer) seconds the proposal. Afterwards, this proposal will be put to a vote on this mailing list over a 7 day period. Each PyPA committer (member of this list) can vote once, and can choose one of +1 and -1. If at least two thirds of voters vote +1, then the vote succeeds.
This list currently has 39 members, so we will need 26 votes of +1 to pass.
