Most of the flaws you mention below sound familiar; are the templates
you're looking at the versions from _before_ the recent (June-ish)
debian-l10n-english review of the OpenStack templates?

And quantum, horizon, and cloud-init passed through d-l-en at about
the same time, so why haven't the fixed versions reached you?

Not in the last version I saw:

Oh, yes, those strangely backwards "tenants", I remember that.
We put the note in keystone since that's the package the tenants
"belong to", but I suppose you're right, other templates should have a
similar note.

Hmm, did nova ever come through d-l-en? I don't see it in my mailbox;
I was under the impression it had been retired. The others passed
through, but if those are meant to be asking for the same thing, I
didn't notice - an IP address isn't a hostname! Yes, this may need
more work, but we'll need some clarification from the maintainers.

Those versions with "eg:" are definitely pre-review. If we'd let them
through I would at least have added punctuation, but probably we
rephrased them into the second version.

Again, these look like things I last saw in a diff, preceded by "-".
