These repositories are setup and administered by a yoctoproject.org system admin. As our developer base grows, the need for user creatable git trees also grows. Eventually, *-contrib isn't going to scale, and neither will the system admin. There are plenty of available places individuals can create publicly accessible trees (github, kernel.org, or any number of similar sites). However, I think it would be beneficial for at least very active developers to be able to create and destroy trees on a whim, without having to involve the system admin with each event. kernel.org provides a git web interface for user created trees. I'd like to see something similar available at yoctoproject.org in order to establish single place to go looking for "yocto developer trees". Users would have to justify their request for a user account and agree to a terms of use. This has served the Linux kernel community very well. I think it could do the same for us. Note: I am not offering to setup such a service or even say that it's possible with the current resources. I just wanted to throw the idea out there and see if others have found a similar gap in the development environment and if this idea would address that gap.
