We do intent to propose it as part of the “big tent” in the coming months—the project’s wiki and source code repository were just recently configured on openstack.org and we’re actively working on the checklist of items you referenced.  :-)

Sounds good! We'll likely require a bit of activity before we can judge
the inclusion anyway (that is the only way for us to judge if you're
following the OpenStack way). It's perfectly fine (and even encouraged)
to be hosted on openstack infrastructure for the time being :) I was
just adding a bit of clarification since using "OpenStack Watcher" in
the original post could have been seen as some official endorsement.

Another pointer you might be interested in: the Project Team Guide gives
a lot of information about the OpenStack way of doing things for
official Project Teams:
