I still haven't read the logs as we had our post-mortem meeting today,
but I'll try to address your points.

First, we all agree that we should move packaging recipes (to use a
neutral term)
and reviewing to upstream gerrit. That should *NOT* be delayed.
We (RDO) are even willing to transfer full control of the openstack-packages
namespace on github. If you want to use another namespace, it's also
fine with us.

Then, about the infra/tooling things, it looks like a misunderstanding.
If we don't find an agreement on these topics, it's perfectly fine and
should not
prevent moving to upstream gerrit

So let's break the discussion in two parts.

1. upstream gerrit shared by everyone and get this started asap
2. continue discussion about infra/tooling within the new project, without
presumin the outcome.

Does it look like a good compromise to you?

Regards,
H.
