I've been out of the openstack loop for a few years, so I hope this reaches the

Josh Harlow (original author of taskflow and related libraries) and I have been
discussing the option of moving taskflow out of the openstack umbrella recently.
This move would likely also include the futurist and automaton libraries that
are primarily used by taskflow.
Just for completeness: futurist and automaton are also heavily relied on by
ironic without using taskflow.
The idea would be to just host them on github
and use the regular Github features for Issues, PRs, wiki, etc, in the hopes
that this would spur more development. Taskflow hasn't had any substantial
contributions in several years and it doesn't really seem that the current
openstack devs have a vested interest in moving it forward. I would like to move
it forward, but I don't have an interest in being bound by the openstack
workflow (this is why the project stagnated as core reviewers were pulled on to
other projects and couldn't keep up with the review backlog, so contributions
ground to a halt).
I guess I'm putting it forward to the larger community. Does anyone have any
objections to us doing this? Are there any non-obvious technicalities that might
make such a transition difficult? Who would need to be made aware so they could
adjust their own workflows?
Or would it be preferable to just fork and rename the project so openstack can
continue to use the current taskflow version without worry of us breaking features?
