Wmf ops probably don't, but thanks to labs we could probably create a new
infrastructure managed by community developers, where we could host the
sites / documentation and repository for code all under one wmf domain like
development.wikimedia.org/wiki etc. I think we could host the source code
using the wikimedia git, but problem is with repository of installation
packages to download and webserver to host the related wiki / site on, I
think either labs could be perfect for this, or some wiki dedicated to
developers
