At my company, we have a number of open-source projects on github, and they are spread out in various user and organization accounts. We are considering consolidating under one big github organization, but that has a big problem: when we do that, the organization will have one flat, monolithic repository list and it will be hard for the public (and us) to navigate it. And individual groups within our company won’t get recognition for their own repositories.

It would be great if github could add the ability to have hierarchy in an organization’s repositories, without git itself having to be aware of that hierarchy. A possible alternative is to allow organizations to be members of other organizations, and display the hierarchy of repositories below each organization on that org’s github page.

This would be a big help for large organizations like ours.
