OpenBMC helper scripts repositories

[Lei YU]

Vote+1

I always wanted such a repo to put common/shared scripts together.

And even more, what about a repo that collects the common/shared code (C/C++)?

Quite a lot of repos are having the same/similar functions like
getting a service
via mapper call.
Is it better to collect such code, make sure they are well-tested,
and put them in a shared repo (e.g. in SDK)?
