Special review days

To make the above gates go smoother, we have some big review pushes:

June 12: spec review day
- Focus on liberty specs not backlog specs: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/project:openstack/nova-specs+status:open+file:%255E.*liberty.*,n,z
- https://review.openstack.org/#/q/project:openstack/nova-specs+status:open+file:%255E.*liberty.*,n,z
July 10: non-priority feature review bash day
- Look at NeedCodeReview blueprints, and get more to complete: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/liberty
- Focus on the things considered ready to merge and non-priority here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/liberty-nova-priorities-tracking
August 5: bug triage day
- Follow this process: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/BugTriage and https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova/BugTriage
- Results: Bug Triage Day - Liberty
August 12: bug review day
- Try to get some bug fixes merged: http://status.openstack.org/reviews/
September 9th: release critical bug triage day
- Look out for release blocking bugs, using: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/BugTriage

All of these involve hanging out in #openstack-nova and working together to try and improve the statistics mentioned above.

-== Why bother? ==
-We have agreed a list of priorities for the release here: http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/#priorities
+All of these involve hanging out in #openstack-nova and working together to try and improve the statistics mentioned above.
-Over previous release it became clear there are things we have to stop doing, to enable enough developer effort and review bandwidth to focus on priorities.
+=== FAQs ===
-If people are not working on priorities, its hoped they can either start helping some some of the priority efforts, or assist with bug fixing and bug triage.
