On the talk page I suggested dropping the "G" prefix for top-level repos, and just giving them an unprefixed callsign. I think that would fix the ugliness of some of the frequently used names.

The only exception I'd make is MediaWiki. Under this
scheme the callsign is MWMW. MediaWiki should be just plain MW.
If we rename "mediawiki/core" to just "mediawiki" it becomes a top-level repo and can just be "MW".

Feels slippery. Next thing you know, someone will want VE and SMW. :)
If the "VisualEditor/VisualEditor" repo becomes "VisualEditor" I don't see anything against naming it "VE".

When we have VE-WordPress and VE-Drupal and VE-Joomla and whatever, we'll put them as… GVEW, GVED, GVEJ *etc.* and just hope we never have a first character clash on integrations?
I think we would set up VE as a prefix rather than dumping them under general, so: VEWP, VEDP, VEJM (or whatever).
