While I generally agree on your goals here (avoid special-casing some projects in generic support projects like Tempest), I want to clarify what we meant by "level playing field" in a recent resolution.
This was meant as a level playing field for contributors within a project, not a level playing field between projects. The idea is that any contributor joining any OpenStack project should not be technically limited compared to other contributors on the same project. So, no "secret sauce" that only a subset of developers on a project have access to.
I think I understand where you're gong when you say that all projects should have equal chances, but keep in mind that (1) projects should not really "compete" against each other (but rather all projects should contribute to the success of OpenStack as a whole) and (2) some OpenStack projects will always be more equal than others (for example we require that every project integrates with Keystone, and I don't see that changing).
