Morgan Fainberg and I contacted the original author of ldappool and he agreed to let us maintain the project (provided we keep the list of contributors and authors).

- pypi has now been updated accordingly (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ldappool)

- There is a patch to import the code into gerrit (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/315267/)

Lastly, no changes to the license were made, we're keeping it MPL. We can fix bugs and release new versions as needed.

A bit of background:

- In order to make keystone py3 compatible, we have to make our LDAP code compatible
- We use two libraries for our LDAP code: python-ldap and ldappool, both are not actively maintained
- python-ldap has a py3 port called pyldap. Great!
- ldappool does not have a py3 port.

With all that said, ldappool is only a few hundred lines of code. Can we pull it in-tree?

It looks like ldappool is MPL licensed:
Version: MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1

Exact license for ldappool is here: https://github.com/mozilla-services/ldappool/blob/master/ldappool/__init__.py#L1-L35

We have a patch that pulls it in tree up for review (with a few changes to make it py3 friendly): https://review.openstack.org/#/c/311827/3/keystone/common/ldap/ldappool.py
