I've drafted the new openSUSE multipath-tools github repo now:

https://github.com/openSUSE/multipath-tools-1 

(the repo name will change!)

This repo is forked from Christophe's github repo and will thus allow
creating Pull Requests for Christophe.

I have simplified the branch names that matter for upstream development
wrt the old repo:

  upstream-queue -> queue
  upstream-fixes -> fixes
  upstream-tip -> tip (this one contains github CI)

Besides these, the repo contains some (open)SUSE-specific branches and
tags, but I've left out a lot of old stuff which will continue to live
on the old openSUSE repo only.

Please have a look. If I get positive feedback, I'll rename the current
openSUSE multipath-tools repo to "openSUSE/multipath-tools-pre2021" and
rename this one to "openSUSE/multipath-tools".

Best Regards,
Martin
