Bugs and Gate issues

Some bugs needs volunteers:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1883288 - someone from L3 subteam can take a look maybe,
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1883071 - I want to discuss about that as I'm not sure if we should try to fix it on neutron's side or not,
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1883321 - seems that may be related to "explicitly_egress_direct" option introduced recently,
More discussion on this topic takes place during the Neutron CI meeting: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/NeutronCI
