Is there some consensus on integrating this stuff into the main
repository?

I've recently converted my cave setup to directly sync from the git
mirror.  Hasufell wrote an excellent example configuration for cave [1],
but 90% of the configuration changes are hooks for gluing clones of dtd,
glsa, herds, and news into the checked-out copy of repos/gentoo.git.

Things would be a lot simpler if these were just in repos/gentoo.git,
especially since they are tightly coupled to the state of the tree.
