The tasks engine Glance uses to facilitate the "new" (experimental in
Pike, current in Queens) image import process does not work when Glance
is deployed as a WSGI application using uWSGI [0]; as you observed, the
tasks remain stuck in 'pending'.  You can apply this patch [1] to your
devstack Glance and restart devstack at g-api and image import should work
without additional glance api-changes (the patch applied cleanly last
time I checked, which was a Stein-1 milestone devstack; it should apply
cleanly to your stable Rocky devstack).  You may also want to take a
look at the Glance admin guide [2] to see what configuration options are
available.
