Why not move the monorepo to org

I was curious if there's any specific reason why the Joplin monorepo (GitHub - laurent22/joplin: Joplin - an open source note taking and to-do application with synchronization capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Forum: https://discourse.joplinapp.org/) is not hosted under the Joplin organization (Joplin · GitHub). I'm asking because I've generally seen large applications being hosted in organization accounts.

It's a lot of work to setup everything under a new GH account and there's not really any benefits, expect maybe branding. Some large projects, Linux for example, are under usernames too.

(And to be clear, the Joplin org account was created much later. Originally Joplin was just a personal project under my account and it stayed there)
