Aloha!

(Should this be in core or tech btw, Linus?)

Yes. ;-)

There are a number of ways to slice and dice the cat. But currently (at
Github) I use one repo for each core. Each core includes any SW-models,
testbenches, local build scripts and support tools as well as
documentation. This allows me to make branches that are related only to
the core.

The problem with this is during integration, and it might be better to
have a single repo which then is forked for sub systems and we use pull
requests for the merging.

I have to little experience in managing big Github projects to claim the
high ground here. I can ask around though.

One thing I do would like to have is some test area/repo where we at
least can shake out commit privileges, commit signing etc.
