As I don't know your motivation (it's often unclear in your
proposal), I think out a case long organizaton name is inconvenient.


URL of documentation site <https://sympa-community.github.io/> is a
bit long.  However domain part may be customized to preferred name,
for example <https://docs.sympa.org/>, by publishing CNAME record.
Previously GitHub did not support certificates for HTTPS with custom
domain, now there is not such limitaton:
  https://blog.github.com/2018-05-01-github-pages-custom-domains-https/

taggart suggested Netlify <https://www.netlify.com> that can host
web contents based on git repo.  It has supported HTTPS with custom
domain.

Anyway, at least on documentaton site, long community name does not
matter (name of repository will be still long due to feature).
I want to propose use of custom domain on doc site in some day.

As staff of GitHub help desk are also labors, you would be better
to put questions together, and ask them as less times as possible.
