Yes, the review.openstack.org link at
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/314819 is to the patch where the
conversion is being reviewed now.

You have the idea. There's a need for a second patch like this one for
swift, https://review.openstack.org/#/c/313015/ that creates the
infrastructure jobs to publish to
developer.openstack.org/api-ref/<servicename>/
such as http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/. If you have a
networking-sfc repo, then you'll need two patches to get your API ref
publishing, one for the source code repo, one for the project-config repo.

Hope that helps -
Anne
