The way I see it is that if an OpenStack dev is creating a template as part of a Heat development effort, then the artifacts relating to that work belong in OpenStack.

I think that's just a terminology mismatch. Put it in
openstack/heat-templates or something - same as openstack/heat-cfntools.
It'll still be owned/managed by heat-core.

Think CPAN, or PIP. This is where templates could go that are not part of a coordinated release. That may or not belong in OpenStack, but I think that's actually a separate discussion.

Do it. In fact, you're integrated - which means that the infra team will
be more than happy to work with you directly on it. (it's still entirely
possible for you to submit the patch to openstack-infra/config if you
want to learn though ... :)
