Hi there! Google did found the gRPC project, and then donated it to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation for stewardship. It is an open source project, and contributions are welcome under the CNCF's CLA.
As the CNCF donation was relatively recent there are still a few things under the Google name, such as the domain - we are in the process of transferring those over to CNCF. I'll go through all our repos and make sure it's reflected there as well!
