There's no reason that this would need a separate github structure, just
separate messaging and rules.
That's exactly what we have now.
This statement on your blog:
"[StackForge] was retired in October 2015, at which point all projects
had to move into the OpenStack Big Tent or leave entirely."
is completely false. That never happened. There are still plenty of
repos on git.openstack.org that are not part of the Big Tent. At no time
has any project been required to join the Big Tent in order to continue
being hosted.
Maybe you should consider reading up on the historical background to
these changes. There are a lot of constraints that have to be met - from
technical ones like the fact that it's not feasible to rename git repos
when they move into or out of the official OpenStack project, to legal
ones like how the TC has to designate projects in order to trigger
certain rights and responsibilities in the (effectively immutable)
Foundation by-laws. Rehashing all of the same old discussions without
reference to these constraints is unlikely to be productive.
