Release liaisons,

As described in [1], we are changing our stable release policy for
Liberty to encourage projects to tag new releases when they have
patches ready to be released. There is a script in the
openstack-infra/release-tools repository to make it easier to keep
track of what has not yet been released.

The list_unreleased_changes.sh script takes 2 arguments, the branch name
and the repository name(s). It clones a temporary copy of the
repositories and looks for changes since the last tag on the given
branch.

For example:

  $ ./list_unreleased_changes.sh stable/liberty openstack/glance
  
  [ Cloning openstack/glance ]
  INFO:zuul.CloneMapper:Workspace path set to: /mnt/projects/release-tools/release-tools/list-unreleased-kFv
  INFO:zuul.CloneMapper:Mapping projects to workspace...
  INFO:zuul.CloneMapper:  openstack/glance -> /mnt/projects/release-tools/release-tools/list-unreleased-kFv/openstack/glance

info. See the README there for more details.
