I wouldn't think that anything would need to change about how Nova does
things.  If the Nova team wants to manage Nova stable branches using
nova-stable-maint then this proposal absolutely supports that.  The main
change is removing stable-maint-core [3] from nove-stable-maint as
stable-maint-core would presumably be dissolving as part of this change.

Many teams already have a stable team [4].  For the ones that don't seem
to (for example packaging-rpm, telemetry, monasca, or kuryr) it would
make sense to make a $PROJECT-stable-maint and then leave it up to that
project to either add $PROJECT-core to it or designate specific members
to manage the stable branches.  So in the end all the teams have the
option to work like Nova does.
