Unfortunately, yes. Of course, I do want to keep my write accesses for
these packages, so even if it was my intention to put them all under the
DPMT, I don't see how it can happen now. I wouldn't even be able to
write the packages in /git/python-modules if I wanted to...
Thought everyone is welcome in the PKG OpenStack team, and it is
accepted for anyone to commit, or even upload, as long as it doesn't
break everything at once (and even if you do, it's ok, we'll just figure
out together how to revert...).

Sure. That's not at all OpenStack specific.

Is the proposal to have a CI that would rebuild packages for us against
a proposed update, so it can be tested before an upload?
