Code Issues Proposed changes

Declare victory on StoryBoard

Browse Source 
The original plan to migrate all OpenStack projects may have been
overly-ambitious, but more importantly it's a policy decision
outside the Infrastructure team's immediate sphere of control. Most
identified gaps in the intervening years have been addressed, with
some final ones (like attachments) under review nearing completion
or well into a planning stage (like self-service team management).
There will always be new features some teams want, and indefinitely
delaying completion of this spec for such a treadmill is
unnecessary.

Update the spec to only cover the original well-established first
phase, and remove the hand-wavy stubs for a second phase where
"everybody agrees to migrate." Also remove the dependency on central
identity management as there is no clear path forward on it
presently. Many teams are already relying on StoryBoard today, and
the handful of developers and maintainers for it hold fairly regular
meetings and can be reached readily with questions, concerns or
suggestions. Further improvement to StoryBoard remains a priority
for them, but it doesn't need to be a priority spec for the
Infrastructure team for that to be the case.

While this is going, we should actively on-board new volunteer teams

will hopefully bring more people to contribute to StoryBoard as users scratch
their own itches, creating a virtuous circle.

Once phase 1 is completed, we should migrate all remaining Launchpad users in
