We probably are mixing two different things here.

1. Moving in-tree heat templest plugn and tests to a dedicated repo

Though we don't have any plans for it now, we may have to do it when/if
it's accepted as a community goal.

2.  Moving tempest tree heat tests and heat service client to a new home
and owner.

I don't think that's something heat team would like to do given that we
don't use these tests anywhere and would probably spend time improving the
coverage of the gabbi api tests we already have.
