Hi Ben!

I've been following this loosely, and we thought it would be a good
thing to prototype unified limits with manila. We've had an Outreachy
intern (Paul Ali) join us this cycle to work on this, and he's getting
familiar with the implementation in keystone and oslo.limit and is
currently working on the glue code within manila to use the library.
So, yes, the answer is we're definitely interested.

As you mention, there was an effort to get this tested and used in
nova: https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22bp%252Funified-limits-nova%22+(status:open%20OR%20status:merged)
which ties into [1].
I'll take a look at [1] with Paul, and help with code review.
