Open Stack

Ah, that is true - we are indeed not here to block anything - in fact, hopefully the opposite!
I'm open to suggestions. @anne, any ideas or precedents? 
Maybe just 'review team' will do?

(the fun link between having the Gatekeeper team and us trialling Zuul for our CI had not escaped me btw ;-) )

Oh, and I can't take all the credit here - a few of us started this on ClearContainers some time back, and EricE asked to resurrect it for Kata :-)
