I'm working on an incident system that my company, as an OpenStack operator, 
will use to support our deployment of OpenStack. Our first features all involve 
outside tools creating incidents, but It seems like it would be beneficial to 
define a standard incident API so that  core openstack components could send 
incidents directly. Or at least so that 3rd party tools that work with 
OpenStack could have an incident API.

I'm assuming an incident system falls outside the OpenStack mission, and I'd 
expect most operators would want to have their people work incidents via their 
existing system. So, it seems like defining an implementation independent, 
OpenStack compatible RESTful  API for incidents would be a good thing. I'd 
expect the API to have  adapters for various common incident systems. Note that 
such an API and adapter set would probably be widely reuseable beyond just 
Openstack.

Does this seem like something that would benefit the community? Is there a way 
to define just an API as being part of OpenStack, as a way to declare it fit 
for depending on by OpenStack?
