As far as Issue Tracking goes, I think we need a single system that
shows all the projects. Users can go there to file bugs on "OpenStack".
Then the system should allow, for a given bug number, to set tasks in
multiple subprojects and/or downstream projects andor companion projects
(documentation tasks for example). That's pretty much the description of
how LP currently works, and I think it provides a nice consistent
experience for the users and developers.

For release timing, I'd add that there is a "default milestone plan"
(discussed at the design summit, currently a 4-week plan) that projects
should use if they have no reason to use something else. Or consider
there is a unique vetted "4-week time-based plan" option and grant Swift
an exception retrospectively if they have a reason to differ. There is
value in coordinating milestone dates, from an "integrated product"
testing standpoint.
