Hi everyone,

I have been using the role [gekmihesg.openwrt](https://github.com/gekmihesg/ansible-openwrt) to configure my OpenWRT router at home. The role, however, [seems to be unmaintained](https://github.com/gekmihesg/ansible-openwrt/issues/75).

Some folks have forked the repo and are releasing a new role with changes out there. In that context I suggested creating a collection and that seemed to be well received, so the idea is to consolidate the development of OpenWRT code in this collection.

As many routers do not have Python installed nor they have enough space to install it (that’s my case), the role includes some “standard” modules reimplemented (with limitations) as shell scripts. This will be better managed having its own namespace instead of overwriting the names in `ansible.legacy`.

Hence, could you please create an openwrt repo in the community namespace?

Thanks!
