Just confirming Sean's recollection, Eric Harney from Redhat was pretty
much the sole maintainer of the Gluster code in Cinder and the decision was
made that he would stop maintaining/supporting the Gluster driver in Cinder
(and I believe he actually put out some calls asking for any volunteers
that might want to pick it up).  I'll certainly let Eric speak to any
details if he wishes so I don't misrepresent.

The bottom line is there was only one person maintaining it, CI is
relatively easy with Gluster, there was even (IIRC) infra already in place
to deploy/test in the upstream gate.
