I see benefits in two separate repos:
1) pull requests easier to verify — there won’t be client bug fixes mixed in w/ package submission requests.
2) easier to avoid accidental recursive submodule updates that go out and "fetch the world" — the client can add package repositories “git clone” instead of as submodules located directly in client’s git repo.
3) cleaner way for client to interface w/ multiple package collections if there ever comes to exist ones not maintained by the Bro project.
So repos can be:
client: bro-pkg
community packages: bro-pkg-community
bro-pkg then would have a default URL that points to bro-pkg-community as it’s hosted on bro.org. It could also point to the bro-pkg-community github mirror, but I don’t see a reason for that. Just mentioning in case someone does.
