Ideally, it's packaged in such a way that it's usable for scipy too -- at the moment it's used in scipy.sparse via Cython.Tempita + a fallback to system installed tempita if Cython.Tempita is not available (however I'm not sure that fallback is ever exercised). Since scipy needs to support numpy down to 1.8.2, a vendorized copy will not be usable for scipy for quite a while. So, it'd be great to handle it like numpydoc: to have npy_tempita as a small self-contained package with the repo under the numpy organization and include it via a git submodule. Chuck, do you think tempita would need much in terms of maintenance? To put some money where my mouth is, I can offer to do some legwork for packaging it up.
