+1 from me to bring castellan under Oslo governance with folks from both oslo and Barbican as reviewers without a project rename. Let's see if that helps get more adoption of castellan
This sounds like a great path forward! +1 Flavio

Clint originally explained what we are trying to solve very well. The hope was that the rename would emphasize that Castellan is just a basic interface that supports operations common between key managers (the existing Barbican back end and other back ends that may exist in the future), much like oslo.db supports the common operations between PostgreSQL and MySQL. The thought was that renaming to have oslo part of the name would help reinforce that it's just an interface, rather than a standalone key manager. Right now, the only Castellan back end that would work in DevStack is Barbican. There has been talk in the past for creating other Castellan back ends (Vault or Tang), but no one has committed to writing the code for those yet. The intended proposal was to rename the project, maintain the current review team (which is only a handful of Barbican people), and bring on a few Oslo folks, if any were available and interested, to give advice about (and +2s for) OpenStack library best practices. However, perhaps pulling it under oslo's umbrella without a rename is blessing it enough. In response to Julien's proposal to make Castellan "the way you can do key management in Python" -- it would be great if Castellan were that abstract, but in practice it is pretty OpenStack-specific. Currently, the Barbican team is great at working on key management projects (including both Barbican and Castellan), but a lot of our focus now is how we can maintain and grow integration with the rest of the OpenStack projects, for which having the name and expertise of oslo would be a great help.
