I see from a previous thread about you two both being maintainers for this collection: Unmaintained collection: openvswitch.openvswitch - #25 by noonedeadpunk
I’ve added both your GitHub users with the needed permissions to the openvswitch namespace on Galaxy 
This should unblock your release process. Also, whilst I was looking at the collection I noticed that the CHANGELOG.rst file is missing changelogs for 2.2.0.
