Any project in oVirt gerrit can be mirrored to GitHub, and most of them are
( see github.com/oVirt )

We are supporting it, Lago is an example of such project.

I don't think its a must, but its highly recommended IMO, and will help the
project grow.
Imagine this scenario:
the project grows and uses its own CI/testing frameworks and reaches a
point it wants to join the oVirt eco-system,
At that point it will be much harder to integrate it if at all, assuming
the tools he's been using were not aligned with
the tooling other projects are using.
Also - in terms of release process, its will be very hard to include it in
an official oVirt release if he wishes to do so,
as all oVirt projects are built in the current infra and shipped as a
single repository.
Eyal, I agree with your points.
I just wanted to point out the possibility of hosting project's
sources on GitHub (point 1 from Barak's list). And as you wrote,
Lago is a good example of such project.
Using standard oVirt CI infra & tools (points 2 & 3 from Barak's
list) should be mandatory for all oVirt projects, to keep things
manageable from build/release perspective. Full agreement here.
As for bug tracking (point 4 from Barak's list), I see Lago using
GitHub's issue tracking interface, so this should be OK too..
In general, I'd say that moVirt maintainers should clearly voice
their vision on converging (or not) towards points 1,2,3,4 that
Barak has mentioned in his email.
For me, having source code & issues on GitHub, but using standard
oVirt CI infra & tools, is still acceptable for an oVirt project,
but it's just my own opinion.
