[Pulp-list] [devel] Create a `devel` repository for Pulp

[Brian Bouterse]

+1 to using contrib in favor of pulp_contrib, and similar for other new 
repos.

My reasoning is based on optimizing the common case. It's very common 
for people to work with Pulp repos everyday so having a cleaner name is 
nice. The uncommon case is when it's forked AND a user doesn't know 
where it came from AND they don't look at the README which came with 
their fork. In that situation they could also rename it.

Whatever the decision we should reach one soon.
