I'd just +1 on the "more volunteers" front. We could deputize some folks 
to make sure they pay attention to the channel and voice them in it. The 
reality is that with so many channels, #openstack tends to get forgotten 
by most of the -dev community, so having a concerted effort to have 
helpful people in there seems like the best approach.
