It is not so important that the upstream name gets fixed; in fact quite
the opposite: we are now already referencing it. Granted, it's brand
new, and we can fix it quick before the release. But note that our
2021.05-rc1 is due this WE, for example; we can still fix this kind of
thing post rc1, of course, but we can't fix a release...

But as you mention, once other projects start referencing it, it will be
too late. For example, Khem Raj already has started such support:

    https://github.com/riscv/meta-riscv/blob/master/beaglev.yml
    https://github.com/YoeDistro/yoe-distro/blob/master/beaglev-starlight-jh7100-envsetup.sh

So even if it is still very early, I think it is already too late to
rename the repository...
