[gentoo-project] [PATCH] glep-39: drop hard requirement of yearly lead elections

[ajak@gentoo.org]

From: John Helmert III <ajak@gentoo.org>

There are numerous projects that do not keep up with the GLEP's
requirement of yearly elections. Few people seem to think the
requirement is really necessary, as evidenced by the lack fo
elections, so loosen it to "as necessary".
