Cinder Groups in Gerrit and Launchpad

Cinder-related groups in Launchpad

group	what	who	where
"Cinder" team	not sure, exactly	an "open" team, anyone with a Launchpad account can join	https://launchpad.net/~cinder
"Cinder Bug Team" team	can triage (change status fields) on bugs	an "open" team, people self-nominate	https://launchpad.net/~cinder-bugs
"Cinder Drivers" team	Maintains the Launchpad space for Cinder, os-brick, cinderlib, python-cinderclient, and cinder-tempest-plugin	Anyone who is interested in doing some work, has a Launchpad account, and is approved by the current members	https://launchpad.net/~cinder-drivers
"Cinder Core security contacts" team	can see and work on private security bugs while they are under embargo	subset of cinder-core (the OpenStack Vulnerablity Management Team likes to keep this team small), so even though the PTL can add people, you should propose them on the mailing list first	https://launchpad.net/~cinder-coresec

Cinder-related groups in Gerrit

The Cinder project has total control over the membership of these groups.

group	what	who	where
cinder-core	+2 powers in Cinder project code repositories	cinder core reviewers	https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/83,members
cinder-specs-core	+2 powers in cinder-specs repository	cinder-core plus other appropriate people	https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/344,members
cinder-tempest-plugin-core	+2 powers on the cinder-tempest-plugin repository	cinder-core plus other appropriate people	https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/2088,members
rbd-iscsi-client-core	+2 powers on the rbd-iscsi-client repository	cinder-core (plus others if appropriate; currently only cinder-core)	https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/b25813f5baef62b9449371c91f7dbacbcf7bc6d6,members

The Cinder project shares control over the membership of these groups. If you want to add someone to one of these groups who doesn't already have membership by being in an included group, be sure to include the other groups or individual members in your proposal email.

group	what	who	where
cinder-stable-maint	+2 powers on backports to stable branches	subset of cinder-core (selected in consultation with stable-maint-core) plus the stable-maint-core team	https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/534,members
devstack-plugin-ceph-core	+2 powers on the code repo for the Ceph devstack plugin	cinder-core, devstack-core, manila-core, qa-release, other appropriate people	https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/1196,members
devstack-plugin-nfs-core	+2 powers on the code repo for the NFS devstack plugin	cinder-core, devstack-core, other appropriate people	https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/1330,members
devstack-plugin-open-cas-core	+2 powers on the code repo for the Open CAS devstack plugin	cinder-core, devstack-core, other appropriate people	https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/2082,members

NOTE: The following groups exist, but I don't think they are used for anything anymore.

How Gerrit groups are connected to project repositories

The connection between the groups defined in gerrit and what they can do is defined in the project-config repository: https://opendev.org/openstack/project-config

• gerrit/projects.yaml sets the config file for a project
• gerrit/acls/openstack contains the config files

The Special Relationship with OpenStack Command Line Client and SDK

The OpenStack Command Line Client (aka OSC) and the OpenStack SDK provide unified interfaces across most of the OpenStack APIs. To facilitate this, they make use of two kinds of core teams:

• "service cores": people very familiar with the particular API that's being given an interface in the OSC or SDK. For example, cinder cores can be service cores for implementations in OSC or SDK that provide an interface to the Block Storage API.
• additionally, the OSC and SDK projects have their own core teams whose members have a broader vision over the OSC and SDK, and therefore can enforce consistency across all the service code. This way, end users will be provided with a consistent and predictable interface to OpenStack as a whole.

The cinder-core gerrit group acts as "service cores" for the OSC and SDK. This means that the cinder-core members have +2 powers on OSC or SDK reviews but do not have permission to approve patches. The connection between cinder-core and the python-openstackclient and openstacksdk code repositories is made directly in their ACL files in the project-config repository:

• gerrit/acls/openstack/openstacksdk.config
• gerrit/acls/openstack/python-openstackclient.config
