+1 fwiw, but this triggered another set of thoughts I wanted to bring up ...

I'd like to see us all try to speak about the core teams as review teams
as opposed to recognition of being an important contributor.  I think
many people (and their managers) see membership on whatever-core as the
ultimate goal, and lack of membership on whatever-core meaning they are
not doing well enough.

In the case of nova, our review team (nova-core) is up to 20 members.
That's quite large and I'd like to avoid making it any bigger any time
soon.  That means that there are quite a few people that do amazing work
contributing to the project, but are not in the subset that is
responsible for approving code.  I don't want it to seem like their
contributions are not valued.
