As a member of the + downstream community that relies on these branches, I will continue + to dedicate part of my time to reviewing backports and keeping them + maintained. + +* Continue to make sure Neutron stays ahead of governance timelines. + +* Continue pursuing CI stability. + +* Reduce the bug backlog. Over the past cycle we were able to keep + our bug backlog constant through the continued great work of a lot + of contributors. Having a reduction, either through verification + or bug fixes, continues to be one of my goals. + +* Introduce features for new use cases as they arise. There is a + constant submissions of RFEs to the project, and making sure + we address these use cases from, sometimes, new users of Openstack + can only help us to grow the community. + +* Making sure we are good stewards of gate resources. + +* Always welcome new contributors. + +* Increase ownership in neutron-* and networking-* sub-projects. + I will make it a goal for this cycle to have more of the contributors + in these projects be involved in bug triage, reviewing code submissions + from others, as well as help with CI-related upkeep in the respective + projects. Through this effort I hope to give more people merge rights + to ease the burden on the neutron-core-reviewers team. + +Thanks for your support. + +-Brian Haley (haleyb, haleyb.dev@gmail.com) +
