Staging projects are for automated package builds of their respective stable release (i.e OpenStack Newton). New packages come from either:

- The trackupstream Jenkins Job, following the upstream commits in the stable branches
- Packagers, doing security / bug fixes

Each package submission triggers a testsuite run. Once that passed, the package submission should be safe to go to the stable branch. This means that direct package submissions to stable projects are a taboo (i.e. no submissions to Cloud:OpenStack:Newton)!
