Same thing, Michael explained the issue really well.
But also, more "philosophically", this is Open Source.

or an organization, it should be the result of collaboration
between people of different organizations.
for closed-source code in your organization, it would make
sense though.

of the package in LuaRocks should be the top-level thing
