How about the TC controls which repo is replicated where (and which ones 
are pinned etc), but we import the descriptions from the openstack-map 
repo?

That would keep control on the TC side but avoid duplication of effort. 
In my experience it's already difficult to get projects to update 
descriptions in one place, so two...

Also, who is volunteering for setting up the replication, and then 
keeping track of things as they evolve ?
