Isn't that simply adding another level of indirection?  I'm really unsure
what the popular groups would be, so I figured that by-author was the
least-sucky way of side-stepping that.

As you allude, we'd still need both since by-functionality makes the
namespace issues worse.

That's true, and I find it personally annoying.

Yet I hope that we will get thousands of modules.  That means the utility of
browsing the git repository will diminish, so I don't believe we should
optimize for that case.

The website listing won't be by author (at least, the main list), just the
actual layout in the repo.

Thanks,
Rusty.
