I've created a "u-boot-extras" repository at the top level, added you
as well to the maintainers (aside, any other custodians that want to
contribute scripts/etc here are welcome to DM me for write access), and
added "u-boot-size-test.sh" to "contrib/trini". Please feel free to
start populating "contrib/sjg" with any/all scripts you feel are ready
for public viewing / use.

FWIW, your labgrid is in u-boot-test-hooks as well and has been for a
while. I had to rebase my local branches on top of that, but it was
mostly progmatic sed'ing. I'm still less clear on the value of putting
all of the lab details in a public repository instead of just example
levels, but I'm open to changing my mind there if that will really help.
