Another thing to take into account is release management: I don't think 
the release team will support releases that bridge across different 
toolchains... one is plenty enough work for our small team.

That's not a "no" since we already have official openstack components 
that are released externally (openstack-puppet modules for example). The 
line we've been holding is that the center of the map[1] (OpenStack 
proper) is part of the "openstack" release, which has to be coordinated 
by the release team, and therefore has to all be on OpenDev. The other 
boxes (operations tooling, lifecycle management, operations tooling, 
client tools, integration enablers) don't necessarily have to. Those can 
be released independently (and off-cycle), and I guess could potentially 
be developed elsewhere, if the TC is comfortable with that.
