[sakai2-tcc] [cle-release-team] retiring the kernel team

[Matthew Jones]

Hi Aaron,

I believe that the 'kernel team' is a useful entity. A team to review code
changes, discuss architectural issues and keep some sense of actually
committing code to the the core is a good idea.

My problems were:

1) In JIRA, you can only assign KNL issues to the kernel team. Even though
many kernel issues may not be actually worked on by the kernel team, but by
someone else and then submitted to the kernel team for review (either
branch or patch). If I can't assign an issue to myself and have it appear
on my dashboard I'll generally forget about it.
  1a) Of the people listed in that drop-down for assignees, about half of
them are very unlikely to resolve issues in the kernel in the short term
anyway; Ray Davis, Ian Boston, Jim Eng, Seth Theriault, Zach Thomas, Steve
Githens,

So I'd either split the jira assign list from the actual "kernel team"
(like have the assign list be the same as the SAK list) OR change the
kernel team completely to just be the most active people in the CLE
community (based on weekly commits and/or Thursday calls).

As far as Crucible is concerned the plugin is in Jira, but it required a
separate process to be installed on source.sakaiproject.org server. I can
work with Chris Maurer and get that connected. It looks like it has a 30
day trial license you can generate, and afterward we'd need Anthony to use
that to supply an open source license. I'll set aside some time and look at
fisheye/crucible this week. I think the only holdup before was that I'd
forgotten my password and/or got busy with something else.

After I get it setup with the evaluation license I'll send this to Anthony.
