I wanted to ask if the community was interested to have the vote threshold lowered, as they did on StackOverflow ([We’re lowering the close/reopen vote threshold from 5 to 3 for good][1])

I ask as often post stay longer in the close and the re-open queue.

I personally think it would be a great idea.

If the community think it's, I would do a formal request to the CM/MSE's team. 

**Edit (2020-08-12)**

I wanted to give a status update, as per the delay of that request; 

Event Timeline; 

- In End-December 2019 before shog9 layoff, there was possibility to have such request done and reverting if the test was not ok. 

- I did that meta post.

- I asked our CM for status update 3 times in TL over 4 months periods. shog9 had access to easilly change that, now it's harder to implement.

- I escaladed the issue to Sarah Chipp [there][2]. I did so as their Q3 map was published but I don't see anything related that request. I did so too as  it's clearly apparent to me that our CM need allocated dev time by their boss to do the request. 

- I escaladed the issue to Prashanth Chandrasekar [there][3]. I did so as it's a post following their Q3 map. 

I will update when I will have some news, but at that speed and priority from SE's boss, I'm far to be optimist to have something done.
