"Usually the API maintainer or those making significant changes to an API
take responsibility for syncing that specific module into the projects
which use it" [1]

That happens, AFAICT, when a known incompatibility is introduced. It does
not always happen when a compatible change is made. I'm really not sure of
the best way to improve that, other than to remind contributors to oslo of
