Here's why:

That's marked as fixing an OSSA which means we'll have to backport the
fix in nova but it depends on a change to strutils.mask_password in
oslo.utils, which required a release and a minimum version bump in
global-requirements.
To backport the change in nova, we either have to:
1. Copy mask_password out of oslo.utils and add it to nova in the
backport or,
2. Backport the oslo.utils change to a stable branch, release it as a
patch release, bump minimum required version in stable g-r and then
backport the nova change and depend on the backported oslo.utils stable
release - which also makes it a dependent library version bump for any
packagers/distros that have already frozen libraries for their stable
releases, which is kind of not fun.
Bug fix releases do not generally require a minimum version bump. The
API hasn't changed, and there's nothing new in the library in this case,
so it's a documentation issue to ensure that users update to the new
release. All we should need to do is backport the fix to the appropriate
branch of oslo.utils and release a new version from that branch that is
compatible with the same branch of nova.

So I'm thinking this is one of those things that should ultimately live
in oslo-incubator so it can live in the respective projects. If
mask_password were in oslo-incubator, we'd have just fixed and
backported it there and then synced to nova on master and stable
branches, no dependent library version bumps required.
Plus I miss the good old days of reviewing oslo-incubator
syncs...(joking of course).

I've been following this discussion, is there now a consensus on the way
forward?
My understanding is that Doug is suggesting back porting my oslo.utils
change to the stable juno and kilo branches?
