This means we will have those that are not approved ensure they take high priority and guaranteed for the next release (Kilo in this case) and send an email to confirm this.

It's hard to say "guaranteed for Kilo" at this point. The best I can
say is that once we open up the neutron-specs repository for Kilo, we
start the process of adding them there. One other thing I can propose
is that we allocate 10 minutes each week at the Neutron meeting to
allow people to propose new ideas. This would let people socialize
their ideas with the broader Neutron team. We could likely accommodate
one or two per week. If people think this would be helpful, we can try
this.

I have another email on this subject, but I'll send it separately to
attract more attention.

Thanks,
Kyle

To be honest, we're already 4x oversubscribed for Juno-3 [2] as it is, and it's unlikely even 2/3 of the existing approved BPs will land code. That's one reason it's hard for me to think of approving existing ones, especially considering how close we are to feature freeze and the end of Juno [3].
