Re: Nova Core Cleanup

 

I'll be the second to admit I haven't been doing a ton of reviews lately, but that doesn't mean I'm not dedicated to making the project the best it can be. That is not to say your email implies any judgement but I'd love a couple clarifications.

What are the minimum requirements, in your mind (since you're proposing members for removal), for keeping core membership? (Your answer could be just pointing me to the wiki page where guidelines for minimum flair have been described.)

Is the re-joining of nova-core the same process as joining in the first place?

What are the benefits of having a smaller team in your mind? Many people on this list have dedicated countless hours to the project and have contributed thousands of lines of code. One huge benefit I see of being nova-core is the ability to -2 code which you believe is going to be detrimental to the project as a whole, perhaps because you have worked with or have contributed that code in the past.

Long story short, this is a logical list to throw out there, I'm just not sure of the motivation and the course those on the list can take to remain off of future lists.

Hey Everyone,

There appear to be a number of people on nova-core that no longer have sufficient time to participate in reviews.  In order to facilitate the review process, I'd like to remove some of these people and consider if we may need to add some new core members.

By my count (from http://nova.openstack.org/~soren/stats/nova-review-stats.html) the following people have been very low on reviews over the past few months:

Brian Lamar (12)
Jesse Andrews (12)
Joshua McKenty (0)
Monsyne Dragon (12)
Monty Taylor (4)
Paul Voccio (7)
Soren Hansen (10)
termie (0)
Todd Willey (0)
Lorin Hochstein (2)

I would like to propose that we remove the above 10 people from nova-core.  When they have time in busy schedule to start reviewing again, we can bring them back in. If I don't hear any dissenting votes in the next week, I will remove them.

Please keep in mind that this isn't intended to question the amazing work that all of these people have done for nova.  Nova-core is a review team, so we have to make sure the people on it actually have time to do reviews.

Vish
