The TC deprecated this term forever ago so lets stop using it. https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20160119-stackforge-retirement.html has all the governance details.

It is common +for unofficial projects to become official projects and when that happened +with the old stackforge/ namespace we had to perform Gerrit downtimes to +rename things to use the openstack/ namespace. In response to this we +collapsed the stackforge/ namespace into the openstack/ namespace. This +means both unofficial projects and official projects are hosted under the +openstack/ namespace in Gerrit and Github. This means that not all +projects under openstack/ are official OpenStack projects they are instead +simply hosted by the OpenStack project infrastructure. + +Eventually the TC decided to completely deprecate the Stackforge name +though you may still hear it being used as short hand for "Unofficial +Project". + +Audience +******** + +The focus of unofficial project hosting is to provide a place for OpenStack +contributors to maintain related unofficial projects using the same tools +and procedures as they employ when working on official OpenStack projects, +to make it easier for other OpenStack developers to contribute effort to +those projects and in some cases to ease a project's path to incubation +and official integration.
