Open Stack

Hi,

I was thinking to answer here... What I see is that more projects 
struggle sometimes with having enough and quick stable reviews as cores 
are busy with the development track. I know that to become a stable core 
for a project needs to be a core of that project already and to know 
stable rules. My question is: wouldn't it be possible to someone who 
proves that he/she knows and follows the stable rules could be a stable 
core without being a core before? Maybe it could be enough or just make 
the projects life easier if for example one +2 could come from a person 
who is 'just' a stable core and one is necessary to come from a core 
both in stable and in 'master' on that project.

I'm writing this because I mostly deal with stable patches (reviewing + 
bugfix backporting + fixing periodic job problems in various projects, 
also in nova) and for example I would volunteer to help with stable 
reviews as I am aware of stable rules (at least I believe so :)). I'm 
working like this because my employer, Ericsson, wants to strengthen 
stable and extended maintenance of OpenStack, too.

What do you think about this kind of stable cores?

Thanks,

Előd
