Keep in mind that not everybody wants to control their prefix. I explicitly do not want a crate being called diesel- to be restricted to projects maintained by Diesel. There are dozens of crates that other people have made called diesel-* or diesel_* to extend Diesel in various ways, and I would have no interest in preventing them from existing or using that name. Indeed, by not having an explicit namespace which implies control by a person or group, people are able to more easily find crates that are meant to extend or integrate with Diesel, without those projects having to be blessed by the Diesel project.
