So I was looking at the retro and the following caught my eye:

Personally, you should seriously consider having the Software Factory team step
back from the day to day of RPMFactory. I'll probably sound like the bad guy,
but you don't want to get bogged down managing Software Factory deployments, you
want to actively develop or maintain Software Factory.

I understand why you are doing a lot of work with RPMFactory but I think your
first priority should be to transition RPMfactory off ASAP and bring new
maintainer into the fold to manage it. This new maintainer should be responsible
for actively deploying SF. Obviously this will be a huge undertaking for the new
maintainer to learn the ins and outs of openstack-infra CI.

I've seen this happen a few time with people running openstack-infra CI in
house, they become overwhelmed just trying to maintain the CI system and slowly
drift farther and farther from upstream.  I would hate to see the SF team start
maintaining deployments of CI over training others to do the work.

As a data point, the HP Gozer team was about 10-12 people strong just
maintaining their shadow instance of upstream CI.  Upstream openstack-infra has
9 infra-roots (and countless volunteers) keeping upstream CI working.
