This is an utterly absurd interpretation. By that logic, a TC member would 
automatically become party to the disagreement by expressing an opinion within 
even the TC itself. In fact, if you would read it maximally that way, any who 
has an opinion, even if they have not expressed it, would be a party.

So what then, the FFmpeg thought police?

You can argue that the rule is vague, and it is. But if anything, we can at 
least eliminate absurd interpretations. (And in any case, it says "should", 
not "must".)
