The OpenStack Ironic project relies on VirtualPDU, which is no
longer actively developed. Ironic contributors reached out to the
VirtualPDU maintainers with an offer to officially assume
maintenance responsibilities in order to avoid forking it, and
received a response from one (Mathieu Mitchell) who indicated
support for that plan. Unfortunately, communication died off shortly
thereafter, and the Ironic team has been unable to raise any of the
current maintainers to actually add their access to the x/virtualpdu
project in OpenDev's Gerrit.

We don't have a documented process since this is the first time it's
really come up, but I'm officially announcing that I intend to use
my administrative permissions as an OpenDev sysadmin to add
membership of an OpenStack Ironic team representative to the
following Gerrit groups if no objections are raised before
Wednesday, March 8:

  * virtualpdu-core
  * virtualpdu-release

This will effectively grant full control of the x/virtualpdu
repository to OpenStack Ironic contributors. Please follow up to
the service-discuss@lists.opendev.org or
openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org mailing list with any concerns
as soon as possible, or you can feel free to reach out to me
directly by email or in IRC (fungi in the #opendev channel on the
OFTC network).
