I was hoping that we would push forward with these new processes for 3.16. Some of them will need further discussion - it would be great if that could happen soon. One thing I'm particularly keen to get started with soon is the "roadmap" part. ... > Roadmap process > > * During the planning phase, the Release Team prompts maintainers to > review their bugs and mark priority issues for the user experience. > This is done using the target-milestone field in Bugzilla. > * At the end of the planning phase, the Release Team: > - Reviews the list of target-milestone bugs and marks issues that are > important at a project-level.

The main thing I want to happen for 3.16 is: * Identify priority bugs at the start of the cycle. Allow people to suggest their own bugs. * Advertise the initial bug list. * Track them over the course of the cycle, and communicate our progress. This would be someone like UX Papercuts or Every Detail Matters, but for the whole GNOME UX, and managed by the Release Team (I'd be doing the work though). If the RT is interested in trying this, I'd be happy to propose the idea on d-d-l and see if I can get some buy-in.
