My understanding has always been that we don't make decisions based on
votes on IRC meetings, because it's hard to get a time for the meeting that
allows the whole team to be easily present. I wouldn't feel comfortable
doing this at the US-timezone meeting as it excludes most of APAC; nor at
the EU-timezone meeting as it excludes most of the US.

If we're looking for consensus, I'd suggest we use Gerrit to collect votes.
We could model this is a change to the CONTRIBUTING.rst[1], or perhaps we
could draft a spec around the expected workflow (perhaps formalising some
of our expectations around cores averaging 3 reviews/workday + 1 spec
review/workday at the same time?

But perhaps I'm overthinking and making this far more formal than it has to
be. We've had a fair bit of discussion on the list and we seem to be
broadly in agreement; perhaps we just need someone to propose some details
and see if we can get consensus here.

[1] What's that you say? We don't have a CONTRIBUTING.rst? One second, let
me fix that *tap tap tap* We will as soon as
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/122350/ lands!
