Analytics (Otto & Luca) probably have the most experience with python kafka clients, and also are the most likely to cause statsv problems, (due to analytics kafka broker restarts, etc.).  So it makes sense for us to be at least partially responsible.

On the other hand, statsv is for operational/performance metrics, so it’d be good if ops/performance folks had their eyes on it too.  Can ops monitoring (Filippo?) and analytics co-own this service?  I can do some work soon to update the Kafka client, but we should all know how it works and be ready and willing to modify or restart it.
