I don't see anything wrong with this. The x-project goal is mostly about
packaging for the plugins and ensuring we're actually doing branchless testing
for all projects. It was always up to the project teams with plugins to
maintain and organize the plugins however they saw fit. So if having 1 plugin
for ironic and ironic-inspector makes the most sense that's what we should do.
If a blank repo was created by someone for a separate ironic-inspector tempest
plugin I think deleting that repo is fine.

As for the mechanics of setting up the gate jobs, there aren't any complications
with doing this. You just make sure you install the combined plugin on the test
jobs for both projects and it should work fine. (this is actually part of the
reason for the x-project goal, because doing this kind of thing with bundled
in-tree plugins is much more difficult)
