Just throwing in two more permutations: bro.meta or bro.pkg.

Yeah, especially if users don't install into the /opt/bro prefix, not
having "bro" as part of the filename might be confusing.

In case you're going with github, here's something non-intuitive that
took me a while to figure out: you need to put an (empty) file .nojekyll
in the document root, otherwise github interprets directories starting
with underscores, which sphinx uses (e.g., _static and _images).
