Only *if* those repos don't get 'adopted' by another project.

In the hypothetical example we're looking at:
openstack/nova-powervm would come under the governance of nova (and
therefore still have all the 'rights' of a project) (same with Telemetry
and Neutron).  The SIG would be there to maintain consistency across the
3 project teams.

I feel like that's a better outcome but it isn't the actual proposal
we started discussing and I kinda de-railed the conversation ... sorry.

So the original proposal which would be a straight transition doesn't
work for this reason which is good to know
