Hello Everyone,

To update, there is an extra step for project PTLs in this task:

* Step 1.1: Project PTL/team needs to communicate to the additional maintainers about removing themselves
 and transferring ownership to 'openstackci'
 - https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack-pypi-maintainers-cleanup#L23

Initially, TC thought we could do a cleanup with the help of openstackci admin for all repo. But, to avoid any issue
or misunderstanding/panic among additional maintainers on removal, it is better that projects communicate with
additional maintainers and ask them to remove themself. JayF sent the email format to communicate to additional
maintainers[1]. Please use that and let TC know if any queries/issues you are facing.
