Ah, right, nearly forgot about that yaml. Thanks gordon!

Has there been any ideas from folks to split those 
'event_definitions.yaml' into something else (a notifications schema 
repo?)? I'd be up for helping do that (nice to have would be an included 
ability/code-gen(?) to turn those schemas into code for various 
languages [starting with the typical ones, python, go(?), java, <add 
your own>...]).

Then we could also hold the emitting projects accountable for there 
events being emitted (and the formats and versions they emit), because 
overall I'd like to get away from 'the payload format OpenStack services 
emit could be described as the Wild West' (found on that events.html 
site, lol).
