Envoy contrib/ proposal

[Matt Klein]

Hi all,

I have put together a proposal for adding a contrib/ directory within the repository for hosting extensions that do not have full maintainer backing and scrutiny. This proposal will affect both how extensions may be added to the project as well as how extensions can be consumed by users via official images. Please take a look and comment!

Thanks,

Matt

Quick note from us: this is great, since we have a bunch of internal filters that might be of some value for the community but aren't
necessarily upstream material. Having a more relaxed space for collaborating with other members of the community is good.
Thanks!

What if we can make some tools to build extensions on-demand, like a kind of package manager?

Currently, when someone needs to integrate a third party extension,it needs:

1. set up the bazel repository somewhere in/out-tree.

2. reference the extension *_config target in extension_build_config.bzl

3. either setup another build machine or run a docker build image, with a bit tuning to make it work, then run the build.

It would be much simpler if there is a tool:

buildenvoy -include github.com/some/extension/BUILD -include github.com/another/extension/BUILD ...

Which could be implemented by simply automating the 3 steps above(with the fully tested base image plus included not trusted 3rd party one)?
