[openstack-dev] [Neutron] Bug deputy process

Roughly an hour a day, and super useful. I’d echo that anyone can volunteer, since a lot of the job is reaching out to various folks for input (docs/policies/neutron-teams.rst is the map of truth.)

I found a lot of bugs that I care about in the pre-mitaka backlog, that I didn’t know existed. This has been an education process for me, and I’ve been trying to triage one pre-mitaka bug for every mitaka one.

A rotating RFE deputy from the drivers team might also be useful, so the first pass isn’t always the drivers meeting. I tend to pay attention more when it’s my “assigned” turn. I shouldn’t, but I do.

Thanks,
doug

I don't have data based on older releases, so I can't see whether we've improved or worsened, and I'd like to ask for feedback from the people who played with this first hand, especially on the amount of time that has taken them to do deputy duty for their assigned week.

But the result is faster triage, and I was able to point some bugs directly at people for quick resolution. Thanks for driving this important initiative!
