What process (if there is one single one) is in place today to deal
with project name changes? I was looking at openstack-dev archives for
this month and I see three references to project renaming. In one case
it appears that the Foundation's lawyers approved 'Trove' (and that
such approval is considered authoritative), but it is not clear who
was responsible for what in the other two cases.
