A monthly review organized on IRC to do the following tasks:

• check the blocked by consensus tasks state, ping the requester to get news, decline if no discussion happens
• check the blocked by development tasks, ensure there is a subtask with needed dev, adjust priority
• review backlog and see what could be processed, and what information is missing
• check all open tasks with an assignee have the assignee working on them

A good channel could be wikimedia-tech, to get feedback from communities and involve more people.

What are the review's expected benefits?

Currently, most new tasks are handled very swiftly, in 1 day to 2 weeks. But older tasks doesn't receive a lot of love.

With a monthly review, we will be able detect bottlenecks, brainstorm for ideas, and handle the older tasks.

An example of how a task could be very badly handled is T101634: the task asked to translate namespaces in five places, so it's five tasks in one, and several times it was "lost": created in the analytics project, assigned to several people, and finally "lost" in the blocked by consensus column.
