Hey
The openstack-stable-maint team will be responsible for the stable/grizzly branches of nova, keystone, glance, cinder, quantum, horizon, oslo-incubator and oslo.config.
That team's job is really to evaluate the risk/benefit of a given backported patch and understand the "safe source of fixes for high-impact, user-visible issues" policy documented here:
http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranch
i.e. we keep an eye out for changes proposed to stable/grizzly and then:
* evaluate risk of a patch * consider how severe the issue is for users * check that it's already fixed on master
Preferably we add a little comment indicating whether a change meets those criteria when adding our +/-2. Also, stable/grizzly reviews need 2 +2s from stable-maint members unless the person proposing the backport is also a stable-maint member.
The question is ... who should be on the team?
Previously, we've included the PTLs and a number of others who are interested in helping out and understand the inclusion criteria.

The outgoing PTLs are bcwaldon, danwent, heckj and vishy. If any of you guys want to remain on the team, just let me know.
Daviey, zul, eglynn, garyk, ghe.rivero, mapleoin and pixelbeat - if any of you want to bow out, just let me know.
Count me in please as a continuing member.
Cool.
The incoming PTLs are russellb, dolphm, markwash and mark.mcclain. I'll assume all of you want to be added.
Just wondering if the two newly-minted Integrated projects will be included in the stable-maint process?
If so, then IMO we should also invite Steve Dake & Julien Danjou on board as the respective incoming PTLs for Heat & Ceilo.
No, since they were Integrated in Grizzly. We've typically left it up to projects to manage this for themselves until they are Integrated.
It would be good to talk both projects through the inclusion policy and encourage them to maintain a stable/grizzly branch themselves using a similar policy.
Fair enough, I'll add that idea of DIY stable/grizzly maintenance to the agenda for the weekly metering IRC meeting tmrw. Cheers, Eoghan
