Hey Geoff. I'm afraid time limits wouldn't work well for us here. I
wouldn't want to poorly decide a blocker status just because we were
running out of time. In case of our IRC meeting, we also don't
accept/reject something just because we're out of time. If that happens, we
postpone it until the next meeting, or if we don't have the luxury of one
more week, we schedule an exceptional meeting the very next day.

I wonder if we could merge the live+async approaches to get the best of
both. What if we handled simple/standard issues fully in tickets, and for
complex issues which are difficult to understand and debug, or which have
some heated discussions, we'd schedule an IRC meeting and resolve them
there? We can either schedule the meetings ad-hoc, or we can use a special
tag in Pagure, and the regular Monday blocker review meeting would only
occur if there was at least a single open ticket marked with this tag. Does
that sound better in your opinion?
