Perhaps a convention in the README.txt file – e.g., starting with a line
like "# /openmrs-modules/moduleid" vs. "# /openmrs-contrib/mycontrib"

I dunno.  I was happing for labels in GitHub, but didn't find them.  The
most important thing is that there's some insanely trivial/easy way for
devs to mark their work as an OpenMRS module or contrib that a non-human
process (script, bot, whatever) can find and to organize any
OpenMRS-related work for the community.  I'm not a Git guru, but my hunch
is that some conventions in a README.txt (title, id, description, etc.)
would suffice and could work across repository types (svn, git, mercurial,
etc.).

Question for the Git gurus... what happens when you rename a Github

I believe anybody using the repository would need to issue a git remote
set-url remotename git://github.com/new/path.git.[1]
