[openstack-dev] [cinder] 3rd party ci names for use by official cinder mandated tests

Thanks for your feedback. We discussed this at the cinder meeting and there wasn't much consensus on this approach [1].
I think the main issue is that some vendors' drivers are maintained by separate teams, so they would need a separate account per driver anyway. 

Unfortunately, {Company-Name}-ci doesn't work for larger companies. 
{Company-Name}-{Team-Name}-ci would be a middle ground, but it's not clear if there's support for that.

I disagree with this approach.  It will mean that if we want to run tests on multiple projects (specifically for NetApp we're planning at least Cinder and eventually Manilla), then we'd have to needlessly maintain 2 service accounts. This is extra work for both us, and the infra team.  A single account is perfectly capable of running different sets of tests on different projects.  The name of the account can then be more generalized out to {Company-Name}-ci

I do like this format.  A single comment with each drivers' outcome on a different line.  That will help cut down on email and comment spam.
