As Horizon team, the reasons it takes time to review is just not
a bandwidth or attention for reviews themselves (apart form
the fact that Sahara dashboard is relatively big).
Horizon team need to maintain the code once they are merged and to
accomplish it better understanding for a new integrated project is important.
In the first "integrated" cycle of a new integrated project, the project
itself need to do a lot of things for graduation, so we tend to explore
how it can work with devstack or what concept there is behind the API.
Such input like how to devstack and/or introduction are really helpful for
Horizon team. In most cases Horizon reviewers are first users of a new
project :-)

I hope this input helps us move things forward smoothly and
result in good collaboration among teams.

Thanks,
Akihiro
