YES For the record:
While I agree with the proposal, I do not think it requires a vote. I'm mostly mentioning it here so that nobody will see this as a precedent or a role model that we will require votes from now on on every new repository in the Prometheus GH org or something. I think of moving a repository inte the Prometheus GH org as a technical decision. But even if it is considered non-technical, I don't read the governance as "any non-technical decision needs a vote". A vote is only needed if a team member "deems it necessary". Now that might be exactly the case here, but then I would like to understand why. I do not expect any controversies here. And even if they happened, I would only consider a vote after they have shown up, not proactively. In yet other words: I think voting is mostly meant for formal decisions (governance changes, team membership changes). Other decisions should only be voted on as a last resort. If that happens a lot, it points towards a problem. We have been there, and luckily got out of it. From that perspective, I would prefer if we did not call votes lightheartedly.
