That sounds great.

But not something I should do from my main machine that I use for other 
stuff or perhaps have an existing Kallithe instance on? It is intended 
for running on a didicated (possibly virtual) machine?

I don't know. Whatever it takes to "make Kallithea have Puppet support". 
It seems like puppet defaults to use github so I guess your reference is 
enough? Or perhaps it could/should be at some dedicated Kallithea or 
Conservance account? You tell me ;-)
