Approvals

Need sig-storage approval from: @childsb, @saad-ali and @msau42
See "Break out local-provisioner from external-storage repo" in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t4z5DYKjX2ZDlkTpCnp18icRAQqOE85C1T1r2gqJVck/edit#gid=1566770776

Additional context for request

Current, kubernetes-incubator/external-storage houses a lot of different provisioners. Different provisioners may have theirs own dependency/ci requirements, etc. For dependency management, it resulted that external-storage repo has huge dependency chain, and updating dependencies for one provisioner requires updating it for all provisioners which is not convenient and may have risk. So we are going to break out local-provisioner from external-storage repo first.

@jsafrane @gnufied what do you think of the repo name and description?

[jsafrane]

Name sounds good, description could be IMO more descriptive, like "Static provisioner of local volumes" or something that says what it provisions.

[cofyc]

Updated.

[msau42]

Maybe the description should emphasize that it does not do dynamic provisioning. Something like "The local volume static provisioner manages the PersistentVolume lifecycle for pre-allocated disks by detecting and creating PVs for each local disk on the host, and cleaning up the disks when released. It does not support dynamic provisioning."

[cofyc]

I think this repo description is only used as initial description value on repo creation, we can change it later. And I think it's better to add this long detail description in README.md file.
