RM after 4.9

[Will Stevens <wi...@gmail.com>]

Hello All,
As you all know, I am the RM for the 4.9 release.  Unfortunately, this is
not a position I will be able to maintain for the long term, so we should
start this discussion sooner rather than later.

I am actively working to simplify the RM role by working towards the
following goals:
- Get the cloudstack repo moved to the 'apache-cloudstack' github org so we
can use labels, etc so the community can better organize itself regarding
the status of different PRs
- Make it easier to setup distributed CI environments so the RM is not
responsible for all the CI.
- Build tooling to simplify contributing back the results of CI runs.
- Improve our set of 'standard tests' to be more complete yet still
manageable to be run on every PR.

I will continue to work towards lowering the bar for the RM, but we need to
start the conversation of who is next in line as the RM.  :)

Cheers,

Will

Woohoo!!!  Thank you Rajani.  This is awesome.  I will support you with CI
and will also be working out the final logistics to get the 'cloudstack'
repo moved from the 'apache' to 'apachecloudstack' github org which will
let us use github labels and such will let the community help track the
status of the different PRs, which will make a big difference for the RM
workload.

Let me know if you need anything.  :)

Re: RM after 4.9

[John Burwell <jo...@shapeblue.com>]

All,

I am also willing to be an RM post 4.9, as well as, for LTS.  I will be able to serve as an RM through at least the end of 2016.

To kickoff the planning process, I have started a release cycle discussion on the list to pin down the schedule for both regular and LTS releases.

Thanks,
-John

Will, you are taking RM work yet another step in to our future, good work.
I of course hope the next RM will make us almost forget your achievements
as you are making us work to remember your predecessors (building on their
work of course).

Haha, ya I am hearing crickets...  :)

We are slowly working towards systems which will remove a lot of the day to
day work for the RM and will spread that work over the community better.
Things like managing the status of the PRs and what is needed for them to
move forward and testing to make sure PRs are not going to break anything.
A lot of the tools we have not make things much easier, now we just need to
get the repo moved so we can start using labels.

I will not volunteer since I can't promise that I can dedicate the time it takes to be a RM. Running a company and trying to be RM is something I can't combine.
