Eric,
I'm sorry to hear this.
I'm reaching out internally (within Gluster CI team and
CentOS CI which supports Gluster) to get an idea of the level of
effort we'll need to provide to resolve this.
It'll take me a few days to get this, but this is on my
radar. In the meantime, is there somewhere I should be looking
at for requirements to meet this gateway?
Thanks!

Ah, Red Hat's statement that the acquisition of InkTank was
not an
abandonment of Gluster seems rather disingenuous now. I'm
disappointed.
Would you please start a thread on the gluster-users and
gluster-devel
mailing lists and see if there's anyone willing to take
ownership of
this. I'm certainly willing to participate as well but my
$dayjob has
gone more kubernetes than openstack so I have only my
limited free time
that I can donate.
