As discussed at the PTG in Denver, one issue of the current
goal selection process is that it conflates definition of the
goal (which is ideally an iterative process) with selection of
a specific goal for a series, in a single review.
This has made it hard to process goal reviews in the past,
especially considering we need to select the set of goals
(as collectively feasibale together in a single cycle), and
not select them individually.
This change proposed to set up a three phase process. Wishlist
goals that do not have a champion ready to drive them yet should
live in the backlog etherpad. Once goals have a champion, those can
iterate through goal definition in a specific "proposed" directory.
Finally, when time comes for us to select goals for a specific
series, we can propose a set of goals in a single review (by
proposing a set of moves from the proposed repository to the
selected/series repository).
This should hopefully address the review issues that have been
plaguing the goal definition and selection process in the past, as
well as let us vote on a selection of goals using Gerrit, rather
than try (and fail) to rely on out-of-band mechanisms.
