[pytest-dev] Transfer of pyfakefs to pytest-dev?

[Sorin Sbarnea]

Why not reusing existing
https://github.com/PyCQA for that? I am personally concerned about having
too many orgs. One or two years ago we moved the doc8 tool from under
opendev/openstack in order to make it easier to maintain.

Its main goal seems to fit the repo quite well.
