I think we need to determine where these patches are belonging to.
So IMHO Nova tree makes sense. But I am unsure if Tempest is the right place.
I would say all tests with a general propose can be located in Tempest
especially scenario tests.

Since we are already planning to have a external CI system it would make
sense to keep them somewhere outside and use the tempest lib (when ready).
