All looks good to me. I'd been fixing this in a piecemeal fashion with
oslo but who knows what other projects do iffy stuff here.

I realize this is bound to be controversial, but would it be possible
to just auto-merge these patches assuming they pass CI? We've had a lot
of these initiatives before and, invariably, there are some projects
that won't get around to merging these for a long time (if ever). We
had to do this recently with the opendev updates to the '.gitreview'
files (I think?) so there is precedent here.
