[ITK Community] [Insight-developers] Is the ITK dashboard too green?

[Matt McCormick]

+1.

I think focusing on the lowering the queue of Gerrit patches would be
time well spent.  Code reviews, communication, and new patch sets
would address issues that were important enough for someone to create
a patch and that are closest to getting fixed.

Here is a G+ Event to facilitate communication and set aside time:

Thanks,
