In order to help recruit a spins wrangler I have written up a wiki page describing what they do. Eventually some of the tasks should get more detail, but I think this provides a general overview. Feel free to tweak the page. The plan is to go over it at Monday's meeting. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spins_Wrangler
Looks like at least a good start.
There might be specific dates they need to remind people of things or take actions if deadlines are missed.
Yes, excellent point. The actual dates for testing and verification to rel-eng that things are ready should really feed into this as well. So I'd recommend getting together with rel-eng to make sure those dates jibe with the overall release schedule now. I think that would make it easier for a wrangler to understand the scope of the responsibilities as well.
In all honesty, from what I've seen of feature and spin wrangling, it's not so much time consuming, but rather requiring organization and minding the calendar -- as long as the constituents (in this case the Spins SIG) are also paying attention. The wrangler and the SIG should have a clear way to determine "Spin owners U, V, W, and Y have all responded by <DATE>, but spin owner X hasn't, therefore <REMEDY>." Being able to rely on a very objective standard keeps everyone's expectations met.
Thanks for working on this Bruno.
