Okay, I think I'll push it into yt_analysis/yt for the release.
Responses have been positive or neutral so far.  [insert 'chaotic
neutral' joke]

Yes, I think it's still around.  We'll keep the yt_analysis/yt-3.0
repo for now.  We can re-evaluate if need be at some point in the
future.

What I pulled in just now passes everything!  I think as long as we
keep in mind this is really a "heartbeat" for the project, it's fine
to put something out that works, but doesn't have everything in yet.

Great, thanks -- no rush, I am about to head to some talks and then
address some other issues.

I've put a draft of the release email here:

I did select a few names to put in, even though there were more people
who contributed in the yt 3.0 branch, simply because for this release
I wanted to emphasize the Octree support.  Please feel free to add
anyone I missed.
