Hi,

I noticed that Regression isn't setup properly as a submodule of modular 
boost unlike other tools.
It isn't present on a list displayed with:

git submodule status

nor in .gitmodules

$ grep 'tools' .gitmodules
         path = tools/build
         path = tools/bcp
         path = tools/inspect
         path = tools/boostbook
         path = tools/quickbook
         path = tools/litre
         path = tools/auto_index
         path = tools/boostdep

There is a module Regression:
https://github.com/boostorg/regression/tree/develop

and there is also a non-submodule directory in boostorg:
https://github.com/boostorg/boost/tree/develop/tools/regression

Unlike the former, the latter seems to be actively developed.
I assume that the code should be contributed to the boostorg directly?

Is there a reason for this?

Regards,
Adam
