As a piece of feedback from the contributor to that project,
I think it needs a contribution guide and a documented
contribution policy such as adoption of DCO, for example.
AUTHORS file may need some updates.

I'm pretty sure that all the contributors so far had a right
to contribute their code.  But these policies might be good
to iron out before "going public".

DCO bot is in use by some of the existing ovn-org projects,
so it may help enforcing policies after migration.

My 2c.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
