[openstack-dev] [nova-docker] [magnum] [nova] Returning nova-docker to Nova Tree

Honestly, I think the real question around the docker driver is the
maintenance question. The upstream CI jobs for it kept getting turned
off because no one was bothering to look at failures. That concerns me
because it's a signal that there is a vend diagram of "people that care
about Nova docker support", "people that look at Nova patches and test
results", and "people that keep tests working" that don't intersect very
much.

If we can can get 2 - 3 folks signed up as keeping an eye on the driver
in tree, I'm all for bringing it back in. But given the history of the
driver going into a fail state and no one digging it out, I don't want
to do that unless we've got those champions.
