I’d recommend running it by the -ops* list along with the RFE proposal. I think many of the cases
had been raised since people did not have the skills/know how to proceed.

Engaging with the ops list would also bring in the product working group who could potentially
help out on the next step (i.e. identifying the best places to invest for RFEs) and the other
topical working groups (e.g. Telco, scientific) who could help with prioritisation/triage.

I don’t think that a launchpad account on its own is a big problem. Thus, I could also see an approach
where a blueprint was created in launchpad with some reasonably structured set of chapters. My
personal experience was that the challenges came more later on trying to get the review matched up and
the right bp directories.

There is a big benefit to good visibility in the -ops community for RFEs though. Quite often, the
features are implemented but people did not know how to find them in the doc (or maybe its a doc bug).
Equally, the OSops scripts repo can give people workarounds while the requested feature is in the
priority queue.

It would be a very interesting topic to kick off in the ops list and then have a further review in
Austin to agree how to proceed.
