It's exactly as accurate as the keyword description [1] is, i.e.: <snip> A case where someone is working on this maintained-needed ebuild in an overlay to test their fixes before including it in an ebuild in the tree. </snip> So, be it BMG or sunrise or whatever else, it's an appropriate use of that keyword, and there's nothing there suggesting that the overlay is an official one.
