I think it was inappropriate to commit this at all.  You can't just
say "some other committer objects, but I think I'm right so I'll just
ignore them and commit anyway."  If we all do that it'll be chaos.

I don't know exactly how many concurring vote it takes to override
somebody else's -1, but it's got to be more than zero.
