Does the CSS WG have an GitHub account? Would it be ok if this account would fork bikeshed from Tab and it gets merged once in a while? Would that be sufficient enough? Maybe the concern is just that Tab could (theoretically) restrict access to the repo, or the account is lost/not available anymore for what ever reason.

Greetings,
Dirk
