There is precedent for this in Spark, Beam, Hadoop and others who have a number of different repositories under the general project umbrella. What I would like to avoid is a situation like with Apache Curator and Apache Zookeeper. The former being a zookeeper client donation from Netflix that came in as a top level project. From the peanut gallery, it seems like that has been less than ideal a couple of times in the past coordinating releases, trademarks and such with separate project management.
