Sure, library maintainers can use http://github.com/boostorg/

but these are not yet used as the canonical source of information. The
main library listings on www.boost.org don't point to those. Switching
from the centralized listing in
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/ to the
above (and similarly getting rid of
http://www.boost.org/development/bugs.html) would be one other
substantial step towards modularization.
