Once it's in the staging tree I don't need a separate repo. It was only useful
so long as I did not have an upstream tree to point people to.

Yes, please.

If you want this in staging, I'll be glad to take it, but note then you
can't work off of an external repo, as syncing the two is almost
impossible and more work than you want to go through.

So, as long as this builds properly, want me to queue these up in my
tree?
