I would aim for it being a sysext, maintained by the doc-team, but of
course adhering to the core coding and code quality guidelines and
policies (deprecation strategy etc).

For a quicker "kick start" I recommend to start it out as a stand alone
extension in typo3conf/ext but considering that it could be later
integrated in typo3/sysext. As soon as the first maturity level is
reached, we can get it into the core.
