Problem: Currently bug fixes take a long time especially for previous releases.

Proposal:

1.       For each project Product WG identify a couple of people ( at least 3 overall to handle vacations and a like) among its member companies who will have responsibility to review submitted bug fixes (for all releases) within 1 day

2.       These people will be added automatically as reviewers for each bug patch submission.

a.       Need some help with tool people to automatically add these people as reviewers for newly filed bugs

3.       Once a patch has two +1 ones from these reviewers and no -1s from anybody else, project PTL or project designated bug tsar will merge it if it passes his/her review within 2 days

a.       Need to agree on the mechanism to let PTL or designate know of patch readiness. Maybe one of the reviewers adds PTL or designate to the patch when passing baton criteria is met. (Best to run by PTLs and TC for recommendation).

4.       Have periodic bug scrub per project (weekly? Monthly?) and choose small # of bugs to tackle for this period.

5.       Once we, Product WG, agree on the proposal, Rocky will present it to PTL on cross functional meeting.
