I agree that the number of people who can approve specs is too small at the
moment too. But I disagree that we have few people who actually reviews
specs.

For example I had a spec (approved for Juno and Kilo, but not approved for
Liberty) https://review.openstack.org/#/c/177112/ which has nine +1 and
zero +2. I implemented this spec a long time ago but I spent about 2 months
to reaprove spec in Liberty. And it's not reapproved yet.

Especially strange for me is that not all nova cores have core status in
nova-specs repository. Now we have 14 nova cores and only 7 nova-spec
cores. I think if a contributor worked hard to become a nova core, he or
she is competent to get a nova-spec core status.
