The Beman Project can be (and will be) tailored to the needs of LEWG.

LEWG doesn't need a second opinion on the library design or utility;
what they need is a place that would hold the reference
implementations and their test suites and that would ensure that these
meet some minimum (objective) quality standards (e.g. the test suite
has sufficient coverage and compiles and passes.)
