The one thing I have been slightly concerned with is the process around using these priority votes. It hasn't been an issue, but I could see a scenario where one core (in Cinder we have it set up so all cores can use the priority voting) has set something like a procedural -1, then been pulled away or is absent for an extended period. Like a Workflow -2, another core cannot override that vote. So until that person is back to remove the -1, that patch would not be able to be merged. [...]
Please treat it as only a last resort, but the solution to this is that a Gerrit admin (find us in #openstack-infra on Freenode or the openstack-infra ML on lists.openstack.org or here on openstack-discuss with an [infra] subject tag) can selectively delete votes on a change at the request of a project leader (PTL, infra liaison, TC member...) to unblock your work. -- Jeremy Stanley
