Hi,
Nova has an unwritten rule that requires to have at least two companies involved in any new feature development (or even bugfix?). In the current Nova core diversity situation this rule puts extra burden to the remaining non Red Hat cores and I guess it also makes any Red Hat driven feature development harder. In parallel to working on increasing the size of the core team I suggest to reconsider dropping this rule.
I have historically always appreciated the two-company approval rule because it ensures each patch has been reviewed with at least two different and diverse company perspectives. However I recognize that the situation has changed over time and we may not have the luxury any longer to ensure diverse company approvals. I do not wish to overburden the remaining non Red Hat cores with review requests for approvals. So, given the evolved landscape, I am understanding and open to adapt our process to drop the two-company rule if there is such consensus in the rest of the team. Cheers, -melanie
Some discussion happened already on the today's meeting[1].
Cheers, gibi
