I'm not trying to start trouble, but GitHub is not the only game in town and GitLab for sure allows nested groups, with their own permission structures, with the extra benefit that the government could host their own GitLab instance for extra benefits Merely as a point of reference, https://github.com/orgs/microsoft/repositories https://github.com/orgs/microsoft/repositories cites they currently have 6100 repos with another 2200 in /orgs/Azure so 10000 in an GH org wouldn't be unprecedented. I couldn't readily find any way to cough up their other top-level brands, and the "topics" seem to apply only to the repos themselves, not to the GH Organizations

I use gitlab as well and really like their groups feature. My point stands though as it’s really impossible to try to standardize an organization as massive as a government into a single code management system, much less a single org, even if it has fantastic hierarchical management. The government can host their own GitHub instance if they want to. I think the point is that there are probably thousands of “servers” with government repos. And consolidating to one “server” is a horrible idea. A catalog is good though.
