The only effect of this change should be that TSC regular members participate in lazy consensus process. If you see another effect that I overlooked, that's not on purpose, so please chime in.

The aim of this change is to clarify that TSC voting members do not have any specific powers (except the ones defined by the Moderation Policy and the ones delegated by the TSC on a case by case basis) over Collaborators.

I agree with this change. I feel like there should be a blurry to nonexistent line between voting and nonvoting members, to the point where everything can just say "the TSC". Maybe we calculate quorum based on the number of TSC members who have voted in the last three votes, and that's it; everything else is for the full TSC.

Just a reminder, in case someone is inclined to land this, that this cannot land without CPC review and approval. All changes to the charter need to be approved by the CPC. Once there's consensus, I (or someone else) can take it to the CPC.

It's a minor thing, but I would prefer the commit message and this PR title to refer to "responsibilities" (or something similar) rather than "powers". I would prefer language that focuses on the work and/or its impact, and not on power and/or status.
