Out of curiosity, why is that a value to your StackForge project(s)?
About the only benefit I could see is for projects targeting future
inclusion in an official OpenStack Program, so that they don't have
to retroactively get the permission of the contributors or their
respective employers when that time comes.

If your end goal is inclusion in OpenStack itself, then that was an
inevitable organizational change anyway. OpenStack uses free
software to manage its projects, so GitHub is out of the question.

I fail to see what this would accomplish. The OpenStack Individual
Contributor License Agreement only makes sense within the context of
actual present/future OpenStack projects (and many of us even
question whether it makes sense there).
