The code has been in review in gerrit for a while now, you can find

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Neutron_Group_Policy/Patches
We are also consolidating this code in Stackforge so that its usable

The wiki page above has links to client, Horizon and Heat patches.

We can also bring this up for discussion during the weekly IRC:
