I need some clarification with how migration scripts work with the 
openupgrade project when outside the openobject addons.

Migrating the openobject addons is fairly straight forward in terms of 
commits and file structures: there's a separate branch for them in the 
project.

What I don't understand is the situation of the rest of the modules 
(mgmtsystem[1] is the one I'm currently working on).
Since I doubt openupgrade will maintain a branch for each modules 
containing migration scripts, what is the problem with adding migration 
files to the modules themselves. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought 
only openupgrade looks into migration files.

What I'm getting at is that I'm stuck trying to push my migration 
scripts to mgmtsystem and I don't understand what steps are needed to 
fix them[1].


Clarification on these points will help me move ahead,
Thank you,
