Provide a detailed description of the proposed feature

We should combine as many repositories in the Homebrew organisation as possible. This includes moving as many external commands (e.g. homebrew-bundle, homebrew-services) taps into Homebrew/brew and all private repos into Homebrew/private.

After this, when creating new repositories or internet-accessible services with repositories in the Homebrew organisation: we should strive to reuse an existing repositories/service unless it is extremely painful to do otherwise (and, ideally, after discussion with @MikeMcQuaid and getting his 👍🏻).

Note: GitHub Pages sites (e.g. rubydoc.brew.sh, formulae.brew.sh, docs.brew.sh) are fine to be one-repo-per-pages-site.

What is the motivation for the feature?

Many reasons:

• external commands are less discoverable than non-external commands and documented inconsistently
• external commands rely on either slow public APIs/shelling out or break periodically due to using internal APIs
• the more repositories we have: the more we need to sync, run dependabot updates on, check access control for, etc. etc.

How will the feature be relevant to at least 90% of Homebrew users?

It won't be but maintainers will like it.

What alternatives to the feature have been considered?

Doing nothing.

My sole hesitation is my perception of homebrew-bundle as an example of an external command.

Should a part of this effort include or inspire the creation of a template external command repo since this effort could effectively eliminate the external command repos that Homebrew owns?

We could point to one of the external commands in homebrew-core instead: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/tree/master/cmd
