repo (and subproject?) for knftables library

[Dan Winship]

This was discussed in passing in the nftables kube-proxy PR
(https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121046#discussion_r1368606188),
but just to have a more formal discussion to link to...

The nftables kube-proxy mode depends on a package/module/library I wrote
called knftables, currently at https://github.com/danwinship/knftables.
I would like to move this to https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/. OK?

(I'm not sure if this requires us to create a "subproject" to own it as
well or if we can just have the SIG as a whole own the repo? If it needs
to be owned by a specific subproject, do we want a "knftables"
subproject, or should we declare "kube-proxy" to be a subproject?)

oh, also, if anyone else is interested in helping out with the nftables
kube-proxy backend, there's a TODO now at
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/122572. (If there was
interest maybe I could do a code walkthrough at some point?)

+1

I don´t know if the overhead of creating sub projects is necessary, but kube-proxy sounds more accurate than the library alone.

you may be interested in some existing nft code around there: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kpng/blob/master/backends/nft/nft.go

I can try to help with the nftables backend, lmk if/once there is some prioritization for the sub-tasks.

What is the process for getting a repo in k8s-sigs? We should do that

[Rob Scott]

+1 on a new repo. You'd just need to fill out the issue template on k/org to create a new kubernetes-sigs repo. Here's an example from when we created ingress2gateway.
