[rdo-list] Maintaining os-*-config in Fedora

os-*-config (apply, cloud, collect, refresh, net) are still maintained in
Fedora (despite that the maintainers, myself included, have not been doing
regular builds).

I've been asked by a couple people from Fedora to update these packages to
build python 3 packages, and some other things like removing outdated Requires
on python libraries that are now in the stdlib (argparse, etc).

This raised the question for me though if we still want to maintain these
packages in Fedora at all. Aiui, they were not retired when the rest of the
core OpenStack packages were retired because os-*-config is useful when using
Fedora as an instance orchestarted via Heat on OpenStack.

However, we haven't been properly maintaining these packages in Fedora by doing
updated builds to pick up new releases, not to mention that these packages and
use case are entirely untested on Fedora to the best of my knowledge.

os-cloud-config I think we can retire from Fedora without any concern since it
is specific to TripleO.

For the others, is there anyone who wants to take them over to continue to work
on the "Fedora as an instance orchestrated via Heat" use case? If not, I
propose to retire the others as well.

Note that diskimage-builder and dib-utls are also still in Fedora but it
appears that pabelanger has been keeping those updated, so is likely using
them.
