Is this what you had in mind?

It's very similar, but not quite the same, for a couple of reasons. To wit,
Jesse's proposal mostly seems to focus on the repos being somewhat
transient - "Bob wants a repo to test something" - whereas I'm discussing
a longer-term purpose. Also, his is on a individual level, whereas what I'm
discussing would be more at a SIG level. That in some sense may make
implementation somewhat easier, by putting a damper on the rate at which
they need to be created and destroyed, and also might include some
oversight as to whether creating it is really such a good idea - but
making it a "is this completely bogus" sort of choice, rather than a
"does this fit in to our rigorous policies" kind of decision. This
would also help avoid the option-overload that comes with #3 on my
original example list.
