The general rule in git is that a repo should contain a single project. There are some projects 
that violate this rule - e.g. cabal stores both Cabal and cabal-install in the same repository - 
but with such a setup it is harder to manage commits in case some of them need to be reverted.
I'd say that if we split lambdabot in such a way then core should be one repository and contrib 
should be another one (separate). Contrib repository should contain only one package (instead of 
bunch of smaller ones).

Speaking of which, I think you could become the current maintainer since both Cale and Don agreed 
that the project should be maintained and you seem to have done a lot to improve it. Not saying 
that you should do all the development, but you could manage releases and uploads to Hackage.

I don't have too much time to spend on this, but I will try to regularly spend 2-3 hours a week on 
lambdabot.
