It reminds me stackforge/puppet-openstack [1] repository that we had
in the past and that we deprecated and removed.
It was a failure because it was not maintained and not really used by
our community because too much opinionated.

Before creating such a new repository, we might want to see some PoC
somewhere, some piece of code, so we can evaluate if we would actually
need that thing.
Have you already written some code around that? Can you show it?
I just don't want to see (again) an empty repo where nobody is pushing
code on it.
