[Openstack-stable-maint] Thread on a more project-driven stable branch maintenance

Hey folks,

There is a thread on -dev about more generally relying on project core reviewers for stable branch maintenance:

http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-July/041409.html

Let me know what you think about it, or better, chime in on that thread.

I'm open to changing the current model. We could just do stable releases from time to time (warn about release, push tag, be done) and delegate maintenance of the branches themselves. That would certainly make our job easier. However I think the proponents for change (1) do not completely realize the difference in stable and master review, (2) do not represent all core reviewers and (3) don't realize how much extra work they are signing up for.

Regards,
