Technically, the rule file could be anywhere that is accessible by a HTTP GET 
operation to get the content. In practice to deploy MTS to Fedora, from my 
point of view, it would be good for rule maintainers to use a git repository 
so that they can review every changes to the rules.

@infra and @rel-eng guys, which way do you prefer to maintain the rule file, 
and what is your opinion of which git repository should be used for storing 
the rule file?

I have the same question actually. My understand of "Maintainership contacts" 
is just for the service maintenance. I think rel-eng could be able to 
determine which tag(s) should be applied to a specific module build. 
Hopefully, rel-eng could help to maintain the content of rule file. @rel-eng, 
what do you think?

I wasn't aware of this yet. I'll file an ticket to ask for agreement.

@Luzi @Valerij Can you please ack in the ticket?
