We won't know until we'll try right? fact is no one asked for it until now..

The fact we're only hosting RPMs (not entirely right, we host images as
well) doesn't mean we can't host anything else, we're actually working on
support for building/deploying containers.
I'm sure we can find a way if the project owner wants it.

I agree this point is less relevant, and each project can handle his own
tracking ( but again, if he will want to be released as part of oVirt and
not independently, then I'm not sure he'll have a choice but to align )

See my comments above on supporting other artifacts than rpms.

I think you're missing the point of the advantages such a project can get
by joining, instead of managing its infra himself ( if it has any ),
It gets a massive CI/CD infrastructure already built and working, and will
be able to do integration / testing with a real oVirt instance (using OST
for e.g).

I'm pretty sure that if we wanted to check that option, it will be possible
even if by using emulators, but no one from the project has ever approached
us so I can't really say anything before I see requirements.
I tend not to rule out anything I haven't verified possible before.
