This is still not the whole truth. Few Ubuntu teams governance says
polls must be used, but they are almost impossible to setup, and it is
impossible for the team admins to contact the team members to take the
poll. (We have declined requests to provide the admins with member email
addresses or to run a script with Lp Admin privileges).

Here is two years of data and we can see attempts to configure polls,
but no team uses Lp polls every year per some charter.
