Hello. I would like to announce my candidacy for Searchlight PTL for U. I've been the PTL for Searchlight for the last two cycles (Stein and Train) which I believe have been giving me enough understanding and confidence to help to maintain it for at least one more release. Even though there was not much activity of Searchlight in the Train cycle, as I surveyed people and companies around my circle, there're still needs for a centralized resource indexing service as well as multi-cloud support as we laid out [1] in the use cases and vision documents [2]. Moreover, with a simple architecture and well-defined contributing process, I strongly think Searchlight would be a good starting point for future OpenStack contributors. Therefore, Searchlight has good reasons to live one. My jobs as a PTL for Searchlight in the U cycle as I envisioned are: * Welcome and help new contributors * Help to make Searchlight work with ElasticSearch 6.x, 7.x * Finish on-going blueprints and fix bugs Thank you for your consideration.
