This needs to be brought to the attention of the new PTL for Neutron. The original team that released the networking guide cannot be expected to carry this work forward in perpetuity.

I do strongly believe that the Networking Guide needs to be a speciality team all of its own, and not part of a larger team. It's an important part of our documentation suite.

The leader of the team doesn't necessarily need to be doing the lion's share of the work (in fact, in many cases, it's better if you aren't), and you don't need to be a core contributor. You do need to be able to commit to running meetings once a week or every two weeks, and keeping an eye on reviews.

Of course, I am here to support anyone who chooses to take this on, as well.
