Boost.PolyCollection was recently accepted into Boost and I'm planning to integrate it into https://github.com/boostorg/ asap to begin test cycling. I am not sure if the lib will be in a good enough shape for launching with Boost 1.65, though. Questions:

1. The current repository is https://github.com/joaquintides/poly_collection , which has branches master (code) and website (for the online docs). Is the following the right procedure for integration with Boost? a. Rename master to develop (https://gist.github.com/lttlrck/9628955 )

I would advise you to retain master, instead of renaming it. Branch develop off that and start the usual "work on develop, merge stable to master" workflow.

b. Transfer repo to boostorg (https://help.github.com/articles/about-repository-transfers/ ) c. Ask for write permission to github.com/boostorg/poly_collection

Yes. And (d) ask for the repo to be added as a submodule on the develop branch of the superproject.

2. Can the repo not have a master branch until I decide the lib is ready for launch?

There's no need for the repo to not have a master branch. Until it's included as a submodule in the master superproject, it will not go out in a release.
