The Tuskar item is the same way. Not sure how that was added as an 
explicit agenda item, but I don't see why we'd call out to one 
particular project within TripleO. Anything we'd need eyes on should be 
covered when we chime in about specs or reviews needing eyes.

I think the review stats would be better handled in e-mail format like 
Derek's CI status e-mails. We don't want the reviews to get out of hand, 
but the time spent pasting in the links and everyone looking at the 
stats during the meeting itself are wasteful. I could see bringing it up 
if it's becoming a problem, but the number crunching doesn't need to be 
part of the meeting.

This one is valuable and I like the idea of keeping it.

>   * Projects needing releases

Is this even needed as well? It feels like for months now the answer is 
always "Yes, release the world".

I think our cadence on those release can be slowed down as well (the 
last few releases I've done have had minimal churn at best), but I'm not 
trying to thread jack into that discussion. I bring it up because we 
could remove that from the meeting and do an entirely new model where we 
get the release volunteer through other means on a (potentially) less 
frequent release basis.

I like the idea of a specific Specs/Reviews section. It should be quick, 
but a specific point in time where people can #info a review they need 
eyes on. I think it appeals to my OCD to have this more structured than 
interspersed with other topics in open discussion.
