Hey all,

As I'm sure you all know, pbr is both our most pervasively used 
dependency and our least well understood. Nobody ever wants to look at 
the code (sorry, I can write ugly code sometimes - but also wow 
setuptools) or dig in to figure out what happened when things break.

Recently Stephen Finucane (sfinucan) has stepped up to the plate to help 
sort out issues we've been having. He's shown a lack of fear of the 
codebase and an understanding of what's going on. He's also following 
through on patches to projects themselves when needed, which is a huge 
part of the game. And most importantly he knows when to suggest we _not_ 
do something.

It's not a HUGE corpus of work we have to go on - but that's a good 
thing - pbr shouldn't chance much - but it's in keeping with the other 
active pbr maintainers:
