For what it is worth, those who I've seen commenting in the +1 fashion
recently are primarily people I've known to be active in the IETF for
years - including some WG chairs.
I don't think this is an effort to round up external voters - but
rather encouragement to others inside IETF to publicly speak up.

Well, that's the $64 million question, right? I mean, I don't personally
subscribe to every IETF-related list, so I have no idea if the people who are
posting are active in some subset of the IETF, just not (previously) this
list. And does someone have to have spoken up on a list, to have just as much
right to an opinion as a frequent poster? Some people are just naturally
quiet.
I'd say that if anyone has been subscribed to any IETF list _prior_ to the
call to 'join in', their opinion ought to have just as much weight as those
of us who have historically been more wordy on the main list.
