Hi,

Thanks for the advice.
The intention from the Neutron team was to make it clear that the team
currently has no capacity to help the maintenance of neutron-fwaas, and
can't help to maintain it.
If there's easier ways for volunteers to keep it maintained other than
forking it to x/ namespace that would be really helpful.
