As everyone is painfully aware, we have review bandwidth issues in the
Cinder project.  I propose to address this issue with respect to cinder
specs, at least, by adding a contributor who is not currently a
cinder-core as a member of the cinder-specs-core team.  (Right now, the
only members of cinder-specs-core are the cinder-core team.)

Simon Dodsley (simondodsley on IRC) has been a cinder contributor for a
long time, and has been especially active in PTGs and midcycle meetings
over the past few cycles.  He's done quality reviews, especially of
specs, this cycle.  As a vendor representative, he brings a useful
perspective to reviews that affect drivers, as well as general
deployment and usability issues.  Additionally, given that the current
core team has reviewing responsibilities spread over multiple
repositories, having a person focused primarily on specs should help us
to get more timely feedback for specs proposers.

Finally, don't forget that it is thanks to Simon that the Cinder mascot
finally has a name ("Argo"), which in turn has given the Cinder team the
really cool name "The Argonauts".

In the absence of objections, I'll add Simon to the cinder-specs-core
team shortly after 1500 UTC on Friday 31 December.  Please communicate
any concerns to me before that time.

cheers,
brian
