Bug#951374: RFP: gh -- the GitHub CLI

I like that proposal and think it makes a lot of sense. `gh` does seem
too short, and while easy to identify for current gh users, maybe it
will be more difficult to find in apt for new users. Also, as you
mentioned, a namespace clash in the future seems like an uncommon
occurence.
