If there's already a repo in github, it'd be better to just transfer
it to the organisation, rather than creating a new one.

I've found getting the maintainer to transfer into the organisation is
a bit awkward. so it might be best to first transfer the repo to an
admin, who can then transfer it into the organisation and set up the
team.
