Open Stack

Hi,

At the 2023.1 Antelope PTG, Nova team discussed that currently open Queens,
Rocky and Stein branches for Nova teams' repositories will be moved to
End of Life. There are multiple reasons behind this decision:
- gate of these branches are broken for a couple of months now
- zuul job definitions for these branches use the pre-"zuul-v3" [1] style,
  which makes the maintenance harder of these jobs
- CI on Rocky and Queens use Ubuntu Xenial, which is also beyond its public
  maintenance window date

And last but not least bugfix backports to these branches don't really get
enough reviews anymore.

If anyone has any interest to keep any of the above branches open then this
is the last opportunity to step up, otherwise, as Nova team decided on the
PTG, these branches will transition to End of Life. Please let us know
before November 7th, we will proceed with the transition in case no
responses will come till that day.
