If you look at e.g. the TC motion[1] or the Incubation Update
committee's report[2], we describe the TC as considering whether a
project "represents a sensible broadening of the scope of OpenStack",
"the appropriateness of its scope", "complementary in scope" etc.

Whether a new project's scope is appropriate for an Integrated project
in OpenStack is a TC decision. We can certainly ask the BoD and others
for input on this or any other topic, but it's on us to consider and
decide on this for each Incubation application.

Cheers,
Mark.
