There are two sources of documentation that I know about: A long-ago paper
by Mike Kazar, and the source code (which actually has reasonable comments).
I actually have a copy of the paper if you care.

The key source code you want is ${OPENAFS}/src/ubik/vote.c.  And in my
reading other than the support for clone servers nothing has changed in
terms of the quorum selection (it's the lowest IP address, actually).
