RFR: New Dist-Git Task Storage Proposal

[Tim Flink]

I wrote up a quick draft of the new dist-git task storage proposal that
was discussed in Brno after Flock.

https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/w/taskotron/new_distgit_task...

Please review the document and either let me know (or fix in the wiki
page) things which aren't clear or bits that I forgot.

I added more information to the wiki page about the default, or bare
executable case which we discussed during/after flock.

LGTM - I'd just add a link to documentation for the results.yaml format, if
we have any (if we don't then we'd better write one :D)

Why do you prefer to have the "taskotron" directory instead of
"taskotron" namespace (the same as for docker files)? TBH, this will
make synchronization between RHEL and Fedora much harder, because I
can't see any internal use for "taskotron" directory.

One of the things that we're prioritizing is ease of use for packagers.
The feedback we've received thus far is that keeping everything in the
same git repo is the preferred way to store checks.

I'm of the belief that if this isn't as easy to use as falling off a
horse, we're not going to see as much adoption as we could. Moving all
the checks into a separate git repository is another barrier to entry.

Is adding a directory to dist-git that big of a deal? I'm not sure I
understand how a few more directories will make synchronization that
much more difficult - RHEL can just ignore the "taskotron" directory if
they're not using it, no?

I've added the link that Josef suggested.

I'd like to send this off to devel@ for feedback tomorrow. Are there
any other concerns with the document?

I've started a thread on devel@, asking for feedback on the above
proposal.
