+1 for a repo for these.

In addition to the reasons you recapped, it would also ensure that all
of the resource agents stay in sync.  When a fix or improvement is made
to one, it will be easier to ensure that the same fix or improvement is
made to the rest of the agents, if appropriate.

I also like the idea of being able to give review/approval rights to OCF
agent experts that aren't necessarily OpenStack service code experts.
