Sean,

I have tabs opened to:
http://status.openstack.org/elastic-recheck/gate.html
http://status.openstack.org/elastic-recheck/data/uncategorized.html

and periodically catch up on openstack-qa on IRC as well, i just did
not realize this wsgi gate bug was hurting the gate this much.

So, could we somehow indicate (email? or one of the web pages above?)
where occassional helpers can watch and pitch in when needed.

thanks,
dims
