+1 from my side.

As discussed yesterday with Luigi (tosky) it makes sense to me to host that
under the Oslo scope, however I would appreciate to get feedback from other
Oslo team members before doing anything.

Even if this project seems stable we still need to continue to maintain the
current code base to keep the code up-to-date and compatible with the next
Python versions.

Concerning the "release" point of view of this topic, if this project is
stable enough I think we can adopt directly the release independent model
[1]. It would help us to reduce the maintenance related to stable branches
(backport fixes etc...). Do you have any opinion on this?
