You can talk with Fabian if you need to add stuff to ovirt docker.

ovirtorg was opened by Dan because we could not find who owns ovirt, and
it is used for vdsm testing images and other stuff.

We plan to move the images to ovirt docker when we find the time to do this.

When it comes to publishing As described in the comments on OVIRT-890 [2],

We update vdsm image using github and docker. When you upload a new
commit to a special "dockerfile" branch, dockerhub builds new images
from the github branch.

You can also build the images manually if needed via docker hub web ui
or using web triggers.
