Please don't. It took over 5 months to get it, and to be allowed to
create the initial Git repository under the OpenStack namespace, with
others replying to the project-config code review that we should be
waiting on the TC's decision first. I don't want to have this happen
again, that'd be really too much of a loss of time.
It's taking a (really too) long time to be setup properly with the
Debian image and build infrastructure. I'm aware of it, and I hope we
can fix this during the Newton cycle. Though a lot of teams are waiting
on this project. Puppet OpenStack wants to gate on what we'll be
producing, and so is Fuel. The plan is that MOS guys will also do more
work over there using Gerrit, if we have something usable.
Please allow us to make it happen.
We have two separate issues here. The first one is that we added a
requirement that official project teams need to be active for some time
before they are considered for addition. We rejected a number of
projects (including Kosmos and the Juju charms) based on that new
requirement. The packaging-deb team was approved before that new
requirement was added, but that doesn't mean it can just ignore it (as
otherwise that would be unfair to the teams we rejected).
You make a good point that the team is active but that activity can't
translate to commits yet -- if anyone proposes the removal of
packaging-deb due to failing to meet the activity requirement, I expect
we'll come back to that discussion. But nobody did yet, so it's not an
immediate issue.
I hope that everyone understands the situation, and I hope that the
proposal to have Monty hijacking the project will remain a joke.
Oh, and if it wasn't clear: I'm again proposing myself as a PTL for the
project, since I don't think anyone else will want to stand.
The second issue is that we don't have any way to run an election on the
project, since we don't have a way to determine "contributors" (or
rather, the only voter and potential candidate under those rules would
be Monty). You can't even apply to be the PTL :) That is obviously an
exceptional case and if I read Tristan's answer correctly, it will
naturally end up in the process where the TC ends up picking the PTL. It
feels natural if you're the only candidate that we would pick you, but
that will likely have to wait until the end of the election period.
