Note that being in the Big tent as an official project (vs. just being
under te openstack/* namespace as an unofficial ecosystem project) is
not a judgment of value (or usefulness) on the project. It is a judgment
in community alignment. Are you a project produced by the OpenStack
Community ? Are you aligned with the OpenStack mission, do you follow
our principles and processes ?

Missing the Ptl election is a sign of non-alignment with the rest of the
OpenStack community. So is missing the numerous emails I sent over the
last months to ask about Design Summit space. The question now is, are
those signs enough to justify removal the "official" stamp from the team
or not.

I tend to lean towards leniency, but I'm just one vote.
