Anyone should be able to vote. Those "other" votes are just non-binding, but are still tallied. To show the wider community's opinion(s).
Well, proposals are put for review/discussion and that period is to gather opinions and general sentiment. The other votes usually generate noise.
At least that's how it works in the Apache (Java) OSS community. --DD
What I described is what I'm experienced with as from the working with projects under the umbrella of the OSGeo Foundation, where only Charter Members can vote. (There is a difference in who is a CM though). Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
