To address this specific issue: It sounds like you want to land a specific
feature in Neutron. The correct place to advocate for this is the weekly
neutron meeting. As someone who's recently landed a cross-project feature
(in 23 different projects), I can confidently say that every team is open
to - if occasionally grumpy about - unscheduled features that aren't on
their roadmap. It took me only a few questions, and quite a bit of
humility, to be given a primer on each teams' approval governance, approval
process, and roadmap feature selection.

OpenStack's governance empowers those who are willing to advocate for
themselves, as long as they are willing to back their requests with actual
code. I'm sure that Neutron would be very happy to address and shepherd any
patches you'd be willing to provide.

In regards to understanding the IRC 'lingo', I don't really know what that
could refer to. Could you clarify?
