In OE, the contrib repos are used for staging and submitting changes (via pull
requests) and get cleared out regularly. People shouldn't be using them for
anything permanent, so unless someone points you to a branch in the contrib
repo to test something you probably shouldn't use anything in it as it could
be unfinished and/or vanish at any time.
