I think at some level, it's not really that different. If we treat them
as different, everyone will always believe they did all the right
things, but got no results. 3 cycles should be plenty of time to drop
single entity contributions below 90%. That means prioritizing bugs /
patches from outside groups (to drop below 90% on code commits),
mentoring every outside member that provides feedback (to drop below 90%
on reviews), shifting development resources towards mentoring / docs /
on ramp exercises for others in the community (to drop below 90% on core
team).

Digging out of a single vendor status is hard, and requires making that
your top priority. If teams aren't interested in putting that ahead of
development work, that's fine, but that doesn't make it a sustainable
OpenStack project.
