I think archive names are meant to be fairly application independent; you record the app in the category name. The naming of archives seems to more based on other considerations such as your mail@address (of course) representing a role you're fulfilling (debian maintainer, private stuff, own hobby projects) and the visibility (and perhaps license) of the code within, plus a time marking when you began it, so: a@debian.org--2004 a@home.org--2005 a@home.org--private-2005 a@home.org--public-2005 etc.. For projects within a big organization you might have the mainline trees in an archive named after the app, because that's not going to change, but otherwise I suspect it just hinders things.
