With my quick read on technical relation between Kolla-ansible and Kayobe,
options1 make much sense to me too. It can give more benefits of working more closely
and handle the dependencies and future roadmap etc.

And having a completely separate team (in Kayobe case you have some overlap
too even only you but that can increase in future) for repo under the same project is not
new. We have a lot of existing projects which maintain the separate team for their different
repo/deliverables without overlap. 

There are more extra work you need to consider if you go with a separate Project.
For example, PTL things and its responsibility. I would say we can avoid that in Kayobe case
because of its technical mission/relation to Kolla-ansible.
