tl;dr: The specs repository has been great to work with. As a reviewer, it makes reviews easier. As PTL, it makes tracking easier as well.
Since Juno-1 is about to close, I wanted to give everyone an update on Neutron's usage of the specs repository. These are observations from using this since a few weeks before the Summit. I thought it would be good to share with the broader community to see if other projects using spec repositories had similar thoughts, and I also wanted to share this info for BP submitters and reviewers. Overall, the spec repository has been great as a tool to consolidate where new ideas are documented and made into something we can merge and move forward with. Using gerrit for this has been great. We've merged a good amount of specs [1], and the process of hooking these to Launchpad for milestone tracking has been straightforward. As the PTL of Neutron, I've found the specs repository helps me out immensely, the workflow is great. One of the things I've noticed is that sometimes it's hard to get submitters to respond to feedback on the specs repository. If you look at our current queue of open BPs [2], we have a lot which are waiting for feedback from submitters. I don't know how to address this issue, any feedback appreciated here. Secondly, with so many open BPs, it's unlikely that all of these will make Juno. With what we already have approved and being worked, a lot of these will likely slide to the "K" release. At some point in the next few weeks, I may start going through some and marking them as such. So, to summarize, I'm very happy with the workflow from the specs repository. Thanks for reading!
