This is very different from what I was told at the Toolforge Council
meeting last week. My impression was that you'd be reaching to a handful
of maintainers for tools we know that can be migrated to the currently
very "Python web service without any database migrations or other
complications" centric system. How will those maintainers be selected?

Please clarify in the email which features are actually available today
and which are not. Right now the draft gives an impression that push to
deploy is currently supported, which is not true.

This is unfortunately not the impression I have about this project. Most
of the decision-making and coordination still seems to happen in private
and undocumented spaces despite my multiple requests to get involved in
those conversations.
