Summary of Gentoo council meeting 14th August 2016
1) Roll call
================================================
Present: blueness dilfridge jlec K_F rich0 ulm WilliamH

2) Discussion on the state of the stable tree[0]
================================================
Various aspects of the state of the stable tree were discussed in the meeting
and the Council decided on setting up a Working Group (WG) chaired by K_F to 
continue discussions and come back to the Council with recommendations at a
later meeting on how to improve the state of the stable tree.

3) Bugs with council participation[1]
================================================
Bug 590972 titled "repoman should prevent people from adding a new package
with a metadata.xml pointing to maintained-needed directly" was discussed.
Adding a repoman check to stop addition of new packages directly to 
maintainer-needed was determined to be within current understood policy,
and as such did not require a specific vote. Due to the bug report requesting
a confirmation from Council, one was provided.

The Council walked through the rest of the list of bugs listed for Council
action and concluded that no new action that requires Council attention at
this time has come up with them.

4) Open floor
================================================
It was briefly discussed whether an infra-side git push check could mitigate
issues such as the one discussed in Bug 590972, but it was concensus that such
a check would add little additional value.
