Open Stack

Thanks, Pierre for helping with this.

ttx has reached out to PTL (Justin Ferrieu (jferrieu) <justin.ferrieu at objectif-libre.com>)
but I am not sure if he got any response back. 

Can you also send email to PTL as well as the current core team to add you in the core list
for project maintenance? 

Please note that, migration of CI/CD to ubuntu work might break the cloudkitty gate if patches are
not merged on time. I am still working on few repos though.

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.
