For what it's worth, I think you're mistaken about this as well. It
was never intended that projects which were hosted in our toolchain
infrastructure needed to become an official part of OpenStack. It
eased that transition for those who did want to have their
projects/programs/teams (pick your favorite term from some point in
our history) join OpenStack but it was never required of them.

StackForge never went away. We simply renamed it to "unofficial
repositories" dropping the (formerly confusing and, in the opinions
of many, unnecessary) branding reference to another popular
"S*Forge" service. It still works just like it did. If you have
software you want to maintain in our infrastructure and it's in some
way related to OpenStack or generally useful to our community, then
feel free to put it there. If you want that software to be an
official part of OpenStack, talk to the TC.
