My usual barometer of whether to move something to a separate organization is whether it has

Those are the things that orgs make easier - since it's easier & safer to add a powerful user to an organization than it is to invite them as a visitor to a mapbox repo. While github organizations can be useful as an organizational tool (in the 'sorting' sense, not the 'community'), that's secondary imho, since here you'd have to re-invite lots of Mapboxers to your cardboard organization.

From my perspective, it wouldn't increase efficiency to create & fill a cardboard organization: this project has no external contributors and many Mapboxy contributors, so you'd end up with more annoying admin work rather than less.
