Furthermore, naming the repository like the source package makes it easier to forward mails via the package tracker. You can just send the commit notifications to dispa...@tracker.debian.org. Otherwise you have to use something like dispatch+<source>_...@tracker.debian.org to override the automatic guess of the package name.
