[resolution] Relinquish "quantum" project on PyPI

Browse Source 
We renamed the OpenStack Networking Service from "quantum"
to "Neutron" in 2013 [1]. We have since not updated any
artifacts to the PyPI project with the same name.

A request arrived in the OpenStack Discuss Mailing list [2]
to transfer ownership to a new owner.

=====================================================
2025-15-14 Relinquish the ``quantum`` project on PyPI
=====================================================
Whereas:
* The OpenStack Networking service was historically named `quantum`
prior to its renaming to `neutron` in 2013. This `renaming`_ was approved by
the OpenStack Technical Committee.
* No active OpenStack project or community-maintained package currently
requires the `quantum` namespace on `PyPI`_
* PyPI does not support reclaiming project names `once deleted`_,
making deletion a final and permanent action.
* A request has been made on the `OpenStack Discuss mailing list`_
to transfer ownership of the `quantum` project on PyPI to a new maintainer.
* The existing content under the `quantum` name on PyPI is legacy and
can be deleted
It is hereby resolved that:
* The OpenStack Technical Committee agrees to relinquish control of
the `quantum` name on PyPI.
* The OpenStack Infra team is authorized to delete all OpenStack-owned
package versions under the `quantum` name on PyPI.
* The OpenStack Infra team shall then transfer the project name to the
requester as per the standard PyPI project `transfer process`_.
* The OpenStack Technical Committee disclaims any responsibility or
liability for the legal use or implications associated with the "quantum"
name.
