Transparency of the work that the Engineering Steering Committee is doing is important. It's great that notes of ESC meetings are always published on the homepage shortly after a meeting took place [1].

However it's difficult to know what the ESC is working on, or what they plan to work on. E.g. the ESC is expected to make a roadmap [2] but for non-ESC members it's unknown if work on this has started, or is planned anytime soon (see https://crbug.com/gerrit/11436). Also bringing issues to the attention of the ESC is difficult (I think an email should be sent to all current members of the ESC, but I didn't find this documented anywhere).

To address these issues I suggest to add an 'ESC' component to the issue tracker that

* is used to track work that is being done by the ESC
* monitored by the ESC in case someone wants to bring an issue to the attention of the ESC
