[teampractices] [TPG/URGENT-ISH] Thoughts on Gerrit Cleanup Day

Overall seems fine to me, especially given that this is an experiment. As
with all experiments, I wonder: how will you know you are successful? I see
things like "All open changesets submitted by *new* volunteers (as opposed
to new changesets alone) in the last three months should have at least one
review.". Probably be good to be really clear and explicit about what
success looks like for this event in order to evaluate whether or not it
will be an ongoing thing.

One more feedback: depending on what time this starts, Friday can be tricky
as SF AM on Friday is the start of the weekend for many international
peeps.
