[cloudkitty][tc] Cloudkitty abandoned?

I think the majority of 'maintenance' activities at the moment for
Cloudkitty are the reviewing of open patches in gerrit [1] and triaging
bugs that are reported in Launchpad[2] as they come in. When things come up
on this mailing list that have the cloudkitty tag in the subject line (like
this email), weighing in on them would also be helpful.

If you need help getting setup with gerrit, I am happy to assist anyway I
can :)
