am i would be somewhat concerned that if we wanted to evolve the functionl groupins
over time. e.g. move a service into our out of core  or operations vs lifecyclemenate 
that i might require renaming/moving repos as we evovle our "marchitecture" to reflect
the evolving opnestack vision captured in https://openstack.org/openstack-map.

as such my personal preferences as a dev would be to follow the governce repo
team structures whic was option 3 and only include offial project in for example
the nova/* namespace although we could consivibly use the team name e.g. compute/nova instead
to give a blance between user and dev expections. e.g. org use user faceing team name "compute" and the porject
use the devfocused project name "nova"

i do understand the desire to have a mappiing back to https://openstack.org/openstack-map but im not sure
the source repose are the correct way to do that.
