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.

If we rename "mediawiki/core" to just "mediawiki" it becomes a top-level
repo and can just be "MW".

If the "VisualEditor/VisualEditor" repo becomes "VisualEditor" I don't
see anything against naming it "VE".

I think we would set up VE as a prefix rather than dumping them under
general, so: VEWP, VEDP, VEJM (or whatever).
