[openstack-dev] [neutron] Networking-foo projects and release management in the Neutron Stadium

After some consultation with Doug and Thierry, we've boiled the change I'm
recommending below down to two options:

1. independent, ad-hoc backport branches, tag yourself
2. cycle-with-intermediary, stable branches, tag by RelMgt team

I think what we really want is option #1 for these projects. I'd like all
of them to be the same here, so if people are thinking differently, please
reply on this thread. I'll update the patches to reflect the fact we'll be
in charge of the ad-hoc branches and tags in the Neutron Stadium.

Thanks!
Kyle
