There is lots of hygiene stuff to do in the repo :) I'll see what I can come up
with but at the very least it's going to require a bunch of people to +1 a
review to drop their meeting ;P
So there are 17 slots that are full so I'll look at them. If a slot hasn't
been used this month I'll open a review to drop them (with appropriate CC's)
I'll go through the other slots later as they're not blocking anything right
now.

I wanted to go the other way as it's slightly less impactful. Most people grok
that '-alt' == '-2'. if we redirect from 2 -> alt it's only a few people
that transparently get redirected.
If we do it the other way around everyone already in -alt needs to move.
That's arguing implementation, rather than objecting so I'll start the process
of registering #openstack-meeting-2 which requires people to:
a) not use it ; and
b) everyone in there to leave.
Registering only takes 30seconds, once people leave (and I'm awake).
In order to be pro-active I'll register #openstack-meeting-5 so when we *do*
need it the startup costs are smaller.
The first thing I'll do after registering the channels is give @infra access.
Yours Tony.
