I do not have much experience organising this kind of event.  However,
assuming the other policy editors don't become active, I'm optimistic
that we could have a productive sprint if you were able to be involved
in planning the sprint.

I was under the impression that there were a lot of stalled bugs that
were not at the "waiting for consensus" stage.  Is this wrong?  I was
thinking that a goal for the sprint would be getting bugs to the
"waiting for consensus" stage.

Makes sense.
