So did we ever decide on how to prioritize reviews?
(I was still mentally / notification catching up after 0.18.1)

There are some really important issues to tackle, often with proposed 
solutions, not no reviews!
It's hard for everybody to keep the big picture in mind with such a full 
issue tracker.
I think it might be helpful if Joel and me prioritize issues. Obviously 
that will only make
sense if the other team members check up on it when deciding what to 
review / work on.

Do we want to try to seriously use the project feature?
https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/projects/5

On my monitor I can fit four columns and the "add cards" tab.
I tried using five columns (separating in-progress and stalled PRs) but 
then I could access the right-most column when
the "add cards" was open.
The whole interface is a bit awkward but maybe the best we have (for 
example moving something from the bottom
to the top is easiest by moving it to a different column, then scrolling 
up, then moving it back)

wdyt?
Andy
