Yes, that is what I mean that we have not explicitly said it has to be on OpenDev tooling
as must requirement but yes we need to update the governance documentation also
to have a clear view if "no opendev tooling then what are governance requirement"

True, I mentioned in my reply that if project is not using the OpenDev or OpenStack
standardrs tool, programing lang then they end up doing lot of things like CI/CD,
release, dependency management either by their own or help those team to support
the new tooling.

If we get agreement on this then this is what we need to update in governance new project
requirement as explicitly so that they do not have false expectation that they will get release,
CI/CD, deps management support from existing team and existing tooling.
