<div>Neutron, the largest project in OpenStack by active
committers and reviewers as measured by the governance
repository teamstats tool, has a limit of 2 core reviewers per
company. They do that for a reason. I expect Kolla will grow
over time (we are about 1/4 their size in terms of contributors
and reviewers). I believe other projects follow a similar
pattern besides Neutron that already have good diversity (and
intend to keep it in place).</div>

Keystone has no official policy, just a firm awareness that things
can get unbalanced. Right now, Keystone is more IBM than any other
single company, but there is sufficient representation from HP and
Rackspace to balance it out. Only on Red Hatter at the Moment, and
one from CERN.<br>
<br>
I think balance is important, not just between companies, but
between industries. The RH-IBM-HP view is more enterprise focused,
and Rackspace is more Public cloud focused. This is the real aspect
of balance that is essential to Keystone.<br>

<div>Hey folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mirantis has been developing a big footprint
in the core review team, and Red Hat already has
a big footprint in the core review team. These
are all good things, but I want to avoid in the
future a situation in which one company has a
majority of core reviewers. Since core
reviewers set policy for the project, the
project could be harmed if one company has such
a majority. This is one reason why project
diversity is so important and has its own
special snowflake tag in the governance
repository.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like your thoughts on how to best handle
this situation, before I trigger a vote we can
all agree on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was thinking of something simple like:</div>
<div>"1 company may not have more then 33% of core
reviewers. At the conclusion of PTL elections,
the current cycle's 6 months of reviews
completed will be used as a metric to select the
core reviewers from that particular company if
the core review team has shrunk as a result of
removal of core reviewers during the cycle."</div>
