Eric,

If I read that correctly, there is some implied resistance to placing
these LUA plugins in the openstack git namespace.  Could you enumerate the
issues now please?  If they aren't going in the OpenStack git namespace, I
will have to clear that with the Technical Committee.  The reason TC
clearance would be needed involves (I think) the bylaws of the OpenStack
Foundation.

We would be breaking new ground here with the proposal of not including
these removed-from-kolla repo in the OpenStack git namespace.

Thanks!
