I'm seen now two posts
2015/06/02 - needs coroutine2 a review?
2015/02/03 - add to testing

As me, others should have missed these posts. You should ping the list 
and the release manager in these cases.
I will try to relaunch this threads.

I'm not aware of any policy in Boost that prevents you from adding 
whatever you want to your library. The simple way is to use the same 
repository and have multiple version in it. However if you want an 
additional repository you need to request it to the release managers.
