Actually, the issue is where to publish in Docker Hub the contrib runtimes,
like the `actionloop-gccgo-v1.11` I did that produces smaller executable but
uses a different Go compiler, with all the consequences of being "different"
(it is not the mainstream one).
It won't go on the standard set of images but some users can find useful. If
someone on behalf of apache registers that docker hub username
("openwhisk-contrib), we may publish some of those images also there, keeping
them separated. I think it does not matter where the actual github source repo
is. For example, that one could be included in the golang repo for example,
just published under "openwhisk-contrib" so it is somewhat part of the
community work but not the officially released one.
As a side note for example I am trying also to do a PyPy python runtime,
another "variant" that could be useful but not official. Source coud go in the
python runtime but published on the openwhisk-contrib docker hub account.

My 2 cents about the "contrib" repo for best effort support and
experimental code we already have a repo
It used be named incubator-openwhisk-experimental, but then we rename it to
incubator-openwhisk-devtools [1]
If any one has some cool experiments we have created a new folder in the
repo and add some trivial travis test
