Yes, it just looks like Greg created new core reviewers, not officially breaking
away from tripleo.

If everybody is on board with moving diskimage-builder outside of tripleo, we
need to decided where it lives. Two options come to mind:

1) Move diskimage-builder into own (big tent?) project. Setup a new PTL, etc.
2) Move diskimage-builder into openstack-infra (fungi PTL).
3) Keep diskimage-builder under tripleo (EmilienM PTL).

Thoughts?
