Hm.. not sure it's wise to give extensions a root name as repository path (e.g. Bootstrap.git instead of mediawiki-extensions-boostrap.git). If we want to shorten it, maybe mwext-boostrap or mediawiki-bootstrap. But defaulting to root seems like a mistake.
Especially considering we do prefix analytics-, labs-, labs-tools-, wikimedia-, operations-, etc.
I'm not actually that concerned about preserving a hierarchy in Phab repo names. Unlike Gerrit which encourages a tree-like structure Phab encourages us to keep things flat. Except for cases where repo names will clash, what's the harm in allowing people to call their extension "FooBar" instead of "Extension-Foobar?"
Anyway, names are less important because they can be changed. This question is mainly about callsigns.
