Hey folks,

Have we considered making these just 5 separate projects (which basically what 
they are)? That'd fit the OPNFV structure, gives each project a dedicated repo 
(which they have already), and a dedicated set of committers plus a PTO...

Subject: Re: [opnfv-tech-discuss] [releng] Committer list per Releng repository

+1

Giving leaders of subproject the freedom to manage +2 rights on their own 
repository will be very helpful for ensuring patches are reviewed by those with 
the correct competencies and merged in a timely manner.

Perhaps having a 'mini-info' file in each repository would help track this, 
intead of expanding the current INFO file. Simple fields such as:
parent-project, project-name, creation-date, subproject-lead, committers, and 
parent-project-approval-link would work. This is merely a suggestion though, 
and a decision on this shouldn't block us from moving forward. I'm fine with 
things currently being added the INFO file.

Regards,
Trevor Bramwell
