While 'main' might be ok for github use, I don't think it would work well for Java applications with the reserved use of the 'main' method. Plus we already have a "Main" class.
I think "Admin" is nice and short but would be confusing with the Admin class and keyword executable command. Reading through some of the ideas from that ticket I like "Director" or "Conductor".
