The discussion stopped without real conclusion but we yet another cycle
where we hit those problems
We have a desktop FFe opened for 6 days there

No review is happening, IRC nagging isn't helping

There is just no activity on the IRC release channel. By itself a week
isn't that long but on a short cycle and getting close from beta freeze
it is long enough that it is problematic.
Checking https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release/+members#active the team
is still down to 7 members with one adding in the last 3 years and no
change in over a year.
I think it's pretty clear that the release team isn't able to take the
actions needed to be able to fix the issue. I still have on my backlog
to reach to them to document their onboarding process but I don't feel
like that's likely to help with any short term resolution so I would
like to put the topic back on the agenda for the next TB meeting to see
what action we could take to help with the issue.
Cheers,
Sébastien
