Description

The [Spec amendment process](https://gtfs.org/schedule/process/) states:
> Anyone is allowed to vote yes/no in a form of comment to the pull request, and votes can be changed until the end of the voting period. If a voter changes her vote, it is recommended to do it by updating the original vote comment by striking through the vote and writing the new vote.

It's not clearly stated (unless I've missed documentation), but practice has been that only GTFS consumers or producers have standing to vote on GTFS changes. People usually declare the organization they're voting on behalf of. (e.g. "+1 Trillium").

I think it would also be useful if we had a practice of voters stating the GTFS feed(s) their organization produces or the consuming application(s) they maintain.

Thoughts?
