OK, it sounds like the zeromq account is not an Organization github
account, but just a regular user account that is being used for a
project.  Recently, github introduced the idea of an Organization:

These are free for open source projects and *really* help in running
open source projects with many repos and many people who work on those
repos.  I mistakenly thought that zeromq was already an Organization.
Could you make the zeormq github account into an Organization account?
 It is possible to convert a personal account to an Organization
account and the blog post tells how.

Cheers,

Brian
