Back in the old days (*shakes cane at you kids on his lawn*) when
these repos were started, there really weren't WGs or SIGs. There were
projects. So there's a project [1].

So either:
A) Make a SIG out of that and assign the repos to the sig, or
B) Maybe add it under / rename the Ops Docs SIG [2] as it might bring
more eyes to both things which serve the same folks.

I personally don't care about the location for the sake of feeling
"included." A repo is a repo to me. However, from a marketing
standpoint, I think having it in openstack/ would increase the
visibility and garner both more contributors and users.

We currently talk about Ops Docs things during the Ops Meetup team
meeting on Tuesdays at 10am EDT (15:00 UTC), so if anyone would like
to discuss this as an agenda item during that meeting I can add it to
the agenda. Let me know if there's interest.
