​All of the debate about the technical feasibility, additional repos aside,
the one question I always raise when topics like this come up is "how does
that really solve the problem".  In other words, there's still a finite
number of folks that dedicate the time to be "subject matter experts" and
do the reviews.

Maybe this will help, I don't know.  But I have the same argument as I made
in my spec to remove drivers from Cinder altogether, creating "another
repo" and moving things around just creates more overhead and does little
to address the lack of review resources.

I understand you're not proposing new repos Boris, although it was
mentioned in this thread.

I do think that we could probably try and do something like growing the
Lieutenant model that the Neutron team is hammering out.  Not sure... but
seems like a good start; again assuming there are enough
qualified/interested Lieutenants.  I'm not sure, but that's kind of how I
interpreted your proposal but one additional step of ACL's; is that
accurate?

Thanks,
John​
