I think it would be more consistent to use project for Github repos.
racke@ambas:~/helpdesk-integration$ ./bin/helpdesk-integration --source=imap --subject=log --target=github --project="Test-Helpdesk-Integration"
github is not a teamwork instance, project would be ignored
racke@ambas:~/helpdesk-integration$ ./bin/helpdesk-integration --source=imap --subject=log --target=github --repo="Test-Helpdesk-Integration"
Unknown option: repo
