I think archive names are meant to be fairly application
independent; you record the app in the category name.

The naming of archives seems to more based on other considerations
such as your address@hidden (of course) representing a role you're
fulfilling (debian maintainer, private stuff, own hobby projects)
and the visibility (and perhaps license) of the code within,
plus a time marking when you began it, so:

        address@hidden
        address@hidden
        address@hidden
        address@hidden

etc..

For projects within a big organization you might have the 
mainline trees in an archive named after the app, because
that's not going to change, but otherwise I suspect it just
hinders things.
