Re: Split the `w3c/webappsec` respository?

I lean against this decision, as the benefits seem relatively small to me,
and change scares me (or, more accurately, I fear unknown, unintended
consequences; the unknown unknowns, if you will). Most of the benefits, to
me, seem to be around GitHub notifications, and it seems like we could
probably fix this with better tagging in GitHub.

My objection is relatively minor, however. If we did do a split, then I
would support Dev's suggestion of using "webappsec-" prefixes, to make it
clear where to look for discussions.
