Per the README and github ticket discussion, the purpose of having it in contrib/ is to gauge community interest. This interest has now been expressed by several parties, so that interest is certainly there.
Let's move it to a more discoverable location. This has two benefits:
usability. If various parties intend to use it, then it is easier to do so from the repository root rather than cd'ing into a subdir.
discoverability. At least Gentoo didn't initially realize it existed, since it wasn't in the repository root, but switched after realizing. It seems reasonable that other redistributors, too, would be interested in evaluating its use but hadn't previously noticed the option.
