On a product/marketing/communications level, I think we would do ourselves a 
disservice by getting lost in technicalities. The story we want to tell is that 
we are making Qt available to Python/C#/Java/Swift/Rust developers. We won’t 
reach those developers if we throw module and technology names at them that 
they won’t understand if they know nothing about Qt.

That’s for the product, and for the terminology we have been using in public 
communication. In principle, and if it helps avoid confusion with other 
repositories, we could use more specific terminology in the repositories and 
artefacts. But assuming that “Qt Bridges” will become established vocabulary, 
both within the contributor community and for the users we are targeting, a 
repository naming convention “qt/qtbridges-<language>” as requested makes sense 
to me.
