To me, the most sense would be to provide one or 2 boards as part of the initial target but with multiple boot options supported so later boards can be easily added. Personally, GH PR-s are rather good for adding new stuff as it makes commenting on things much easier and cleaner, and we can let CI do its thing as well.
