Recently the TC has worked on determining the criteria for when an OpenStack project should be retired. When there was not a PTL nominee, that triggered the TC to review the health of the Congress project per [1], and the TC has determined [2] that development work on the Congress project has ceased. Based on that we are going to start the process of governance removal in the Victoria cycle as specified in the Mandatory Repository Retirement resolution [3] and detailed in the infra manual [4].
Pursuant to these procedures, Congress will move out of the opendev.org/openstack/ namespace and into the opendev.org/x/ namespace. If interest in Congress revives, development can restart in it's new location and potentially Congress could be re-added to OpenStack governance.
Note, I don't think we need to create x/congress until there is some individual or group interested in taking on the care of this repo. Basically this can be lazy evaluated at the time demand shows up.
Our thanks and appreciation to Eric and all of those who have contributed to the Congress project over the years.
Thanks,
Nate Johnston
