Joshua, thanks for reaching out.  The informal consensus was that taskflow was overkill for what we're doing in some ways, and maybe not mature enough in others.  But maybe we should reconsider (especially if you're willing to help out!).  If any Glance people aren't familiar with the current state of taskflow, Jessica Lucci has posted a quick 27 min video walkthrough:

if you watch, here are the docs she uses:
  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TaskFlow
  https://github.com/stackforge/taskflow
  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Celery
  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/DistributedTaskManagement
  https://code.launchpad.net/taskflow

Maybe we can have a quick discussion at the weekly Glance meeting on Thursday (20:00 UTC this week in #openstack-meeting-alt on freenode).

Very cool, would u consider trying to use taskflow for some of this. It
seems to fit (or could fit) part of the bill nicely.

I'd be up to working with you guys to make this happen, if you guys want
to discuss more u know where to find me (on IRC, ha).
